With its cool waters and abundant food, Monterey Bay is one of the best places to view whales in America!
Your morning whale watch begins in Moss Landing where you’ll meet up with a knowledgeable captain and crew. Hop aboard ‘The Sanctuary’, a comfortable, 43-foot sustainable charter boat that features a cozy cabin and plenty of outdoor seating. Once everyone is aboard, your captain will whisk you out to sea!
As soon as you leave the dock, keep your eyes open for wildlife. Watch the horizon for the unmistakable blow of a Humpback Whale or look for dolphins jumping through the waves. While whale watching is a year-round activity in Monterey Bay, the types of whales you might see vary throughout the year.
In the spring and winter, you may spot migrating Gray Whales along with orcas and dolphins. During the summer and fall, Humpback Whales call these deep waters home. If you’re lucky, you may even spot an elusive Blue Whale gliding past your boat.
In addition to whales and dolphins, Monterey Bay is home to a variety of other animals. See if you can spot playful sea otters, California sea lions, curious sea turtles, giant albatross, and so much more.
Make it a memorable day with this Morning Whale Watch on Monterey Bay!
