The Gray Beginnings | Julien
It’s official: Gray whale season has started and we are well into having consistent sightings! Our first sighting this season was on November 28, and since then our trips have been full of activity. The gray whales spend half of the year feeding in the nutrient-rich waters off of Alaska in the Bering Sea in order to intake a large amount of calories to make their incredible migration south.

From Blues to Grays to Blues and Fins! | Julien
That’s right! The blue whales have been sighted on several trips between the middle of November to the present! Our spontaneous and unpredictable blue whale season has made for a very interesting, and awe filled November! Lunge feeding blues, fins and mike whales have filled our waters on recent trips.

It’s Phenomenal Blue Whale Watching!! | Julien
This last month our blues have given us wonderful whale watching experiences! At this current time, they are not being seen as frequently off our coast in Long Beach, but they are still here in Southern California feeding.

Giant Splashes | Julien
Acrobatic breaching, tail lobbing, and lunge feeding behaviors from the whales we’ve seen on recent boat trips have been making quite a splash!
