Eventually someone must have alerted the park staff because they pulled up in their official vehicles and chased the bear off. Of course, they must do this, to protect both the bear and the people, but we had a fantastic time watching the bear minding his own business until he had to leave.
Before leaving Forillon, we treated ourselves to a whale watching cruise, and what a treat it was! This area is a premier destination for 7-15 different whale species. We saw a blue whale (yes, the biggest animals ever to live on earth), several fin whales (almost as big as the blue), and multiple humpback whales.
