Book Your Trip!

Summer / Fall Season (Mid-March through early December)

During the summer/fall season we expect to see Humpback Whales daily but we can also view blue whales, fin whales, gray whales (finishing migration), killer whales and a variety of other dolphin species.

We offer a morning tour at 9am which is 3.5-4 hours in duration. We also offer an afternoon tour at 1:30pm which is 2.5-3 hours in duration.

We typically run a 5pm Sunset whale watch tour in the summer months as well.

Enjoy the wildlife and then relax as you take in the beautiful sunset over the Monterey Bay!

Dolphins are sighted throughout the year but not as often as the whales.
