Current Season and Sightings
Fall/Winter Season (September thru December)
Humpback Whales are still here and stay well into December! Monterey Bay is their feeding grounds! So there’s no shortage of them!
Possibly Killer Whale (Orca) sightings! There’s never a guarantee as they are quite unpredictable, but we have been sighting them more frequently right now!
Our 4-Hour trips and our Sunset trips end in October.
November we transition to our 2.5 – 3 hour trips only until Mid-March
