Today was a bit of a bumpy one. With a pretty big swell and a bit of wind, we were bouncing around a fair bit once we got out of the bay. Regardless, we still managed to get two awesome trips out of it! Because we had light loads, we went with just two crew…
DetailsWe didn’t have a 9:00 am trip today due to a lack of bookings, so we hung around the wharf until our first sailing at 1:30 pm. Captain Rod was driving the Pacifica, joined by deckhand Andrew and myself (Naturalist Pete). We met a pretty large swell, but it was very comfortable as there…
DetailsWe had favourable conditions today as we headed out into the bay aboard the Pacifica. Captain Rod, deckhand Daniel Rosa, and I (Naturalist Pete) found a light swell, with pretty much no wind throughout the trip. We started the trip heading out west to see if any of the activity from yesterday was still around,…
DetailsWhat 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…
DetailsPlenty 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…
DetailsOur 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…
DetailsWe 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…
DetailsWe 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…
DetailsToday 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…
DetailsOur 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…
