Very few locations in the world have year round whale watching opportunities such as this area. View the gray whale migration during the winter and spring months, and the blue and finback whales during the summer and fall months. Minke, humpback, and even killer whales can be viewed on one of the 2 to 2.5 hour cruises, as well as risso, bottlenose and common dolphins, sea lions, and other marine life.
