What a day. I’ve had the last few weeks off to do some travelling around the country and was itching to get back on the water today. We set sail aboard the Pacifica with Captain Danny, deckhand Kevin, and myself (Naturalist Pete). Eric also decided to come out on his day off, for a bit…
Plenty of active humpback whales were seen on both our trips today here at Discovery Whale Watch! Our morning trip had humpback whales lunge feeding close to our boat the Pacifica. The anchovies that our whales thrive upon were seen close to the surface. This allows us to guide our guest eyes to the exact…
Our 9AM and 1:30PM trip both had to deal with poor visibility today but many whales and dolphins still made an appearance! The 9AM got a great look at multiple humpback whales lunge feeding on huge schools of anchovies! Our population of humpback whales come towards the Monterey Bay area to feed upon anchovies and…
We only had one trip today, with Captain Rod, deckhand Reed, and myself (Naturalist Pete). The conditions were perfect, with very little wind. Although we did have a swell which ranged between 2-6 feet, the waves were so far apart that it was barely noticeable. We initially went out north towards where the humpbacks had…
We started off our 9am trip with Captain Danny, deckhand Kevin, and myself (naturalist Pete) aboard the Pacifica. The weather today was quite favourable, especially in the morning. We had light wind and a light swell, which meant there was not very much motion. The wind picked up a little bit for the afternoon so…
Today we headed out with Captain John, deckhand Daniel Rosa, I (naturalist Pete). We had an overcast day so it was quite cloudy and grey, but otherwise, the weather was perfect. We had a very light swell and pretty much no wind throughout the morning. Recently our sightings had tended to be down south, but…
Our guest experienced great sightings on our 9AM and 1:30PM excursions today! Risso’s dolphins, blue whales and humpback whales were seen today, both trips got some close encounters with the larger whales. The highlight for today had to have been the super active humpback whales during our 1:30PM trip. Three humpback whales breached, tail slapped…
Our 9AM trip got to look at one of the most popular pods of orca to visit the Monterey Bay area! The CA51 pod consist of 4 beautiful orca that have a reputation of being quite friendly and curious around boats. The CA51s are transient orca that specialize in feeding upon marine mammals. This pod…
Both our 9AM and 1:30PM trip had great encounters with whales today! Each trip had close passes by different species of whales. The 9AM trip saw 2 blue whales, 4 humpback whales and great close passes by 2 fin whales. The 2 fin whales passed so close, our passengers got to see their unique features,…
We set out aboard the Pacifica with Captain Danny, deckhand Kevin, and myself (naturalist Pete). Our conditions were favourable today, as we met a very minimal swell with quite light wind throughout the day. Our morning trip started off right with a nice pod of Risso’s Dolphins directly outside the harbour! Nice! We continued pushing…
