San Diego California Whale Watching Tour
This video was filmed in San Diego aboard the Adventure Hornblower Whale Watching boat which departs from downtown. During our whale watching tour we saw some gray whales and humpback whales, although other times of the year you can see a number of other varieties. Something that was frustrating was the number of people cramming into the best vantage points on the boat as well as 3 or 4 times the boat was chasing a whale which went into Mexican waters and we had to stop pursuit and turn around to look for another one in U.S. waters. Overall the price was reasonable and we did see several energetic dolphins. Although we wish we saw the whales closer up, we did see several during our 3 and a half hour tour and of course it’s just fun to get out on the water anyways. If you’re in San Diego I’d recommend booking a whale watching tour for yourself. If you like this video make sure to comment, thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.

The Best Places for Whale Watching in California
Come and experience California’s year-round whale fest!
From the far north to the Mexican border, California’s pristine waters play center stage to much-loved visitors such as humpbacks and orcas, as well as gray whales, who follow the entire coast on their yearly migration.
California is one of the best places in the world for whale watching. Each year, about 20,000 gray whales make an epic 6,000-mile journey between Alaska and Mexico—and then back again. These massive, itinerant mammals travel from feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to mating and breeding lagoons along Baja California in Mexico. It’s one of the most amazing wildlife migrations on the planet, and also relatively easy for humans to witness, especially if you join a guided whale-watching cruise with knowledgeable crew on board. (In some locations, you can see whales spouting, breaching, and fluking from ocean bluffs, especially if you have binoculars.) While gray whales get the spotlight along the California coast, other cetaceans—including orcas, humpbacks, porpoises, dolphins, and gigantic blue whales—ply the waters at different times of year, bumping up your chances of seeing something amazing out there in the sea.
California is one of the few places where you can see whales year-round. From San Francisco in the north to San Diego in the south, these giants of the deep migrate up and down the coast, providing humans with one of the greatest shows on Earth. It’s easy to spot passing whales with the naked eye from California’s many points which jut out into the Pacific Ocean, however, nothing comes close to the thrill of seeing these majestic beasts up close out on the water. The most common species in Californian waters are gray whales, which make an astonishing 10,000-mile (16,090-kilometer) round trip each year between their feeding grounds in the Arctic and the warmer breeding and calving lagoons of Mexico. Off San Francisco and Monterey Bay, humpback and blue whales appear year-round, while blue, sperm, beaked, minke whales and orcas appear seasonally.
1. Eureka
Located on the shores of Humboldt Bay, Eureka, CA is the largest coastal city between San Francisco and Portland. Outdoor recreation is abundant, with activities like boating, sport fishing, kayaking, and whale watching all available close by. To see the whales from the water, charter a boat or take a kayak tour out of Trinidad Harbor. There are also countless sites to whale watch from land. The best ones are located high on the cliffs of Shelter Cove, Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, Patrick’s Point State Park, and Table Bluff.
2. Mendocino
The quaint, coastal village of Mendocino is a beloved whale watching destination. There are plenty of great lookout points in the area, including Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, Point Arena Lighthouse, and Mendocino Headlands State Park. You can even whale watch at the annual Whale Festival in March. It’s a wonderful event that features whale exhibits, educational lectures, and delicious fare from local restaurants.
3. The Bay Area
The waters bordering San Francisco are a seasonal hotspot for whale migrations. Humpback whales, blue whales, and gray whales have all been spotted here. The Oceanic Society offers full and half-day guided tours to the Farallon Islands, and San Francisco Whale Tours provides whale watching adventures year-round. It’s always a good time to visit!
The Washington Square Inn is ideally situated in San Francisco’s legendary North Beach neighborhood. It’s just a short cable car ride from Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Coit Tower, China Town, Union Square, and Telegraph Hill. No matter where you end up, the inn’s friendly staff is dedicated to making your vacation as comfortable and relaxing as possible.
4. Monterey
The Monterey Submarine Canyon in Monterey, CA, is a deep water canyon system that provides many benefits to year-round whale watching. Killer whales use the canyon as hunting grounds throughout the year, and humpback whales, blue whales, and a variety of dolphins and sea lions feed here in the summer months. Visitors can charter a boat out of the wharf for an up-close look at these incredible species.
Blue whales are the largest mammal ever known to have lived on Earth. They can stretch up to 100 feet and can weigh more than 200 tons. Can you just take a second to imagine what that looks like to see a whale of that size spouting out air and water some 9 meters in the air? Envision this massive creature appearing on one side of your little whale-watching boat and popping up on the other. Realize how it could tip you into the water if it wanted to. And when you go whale watching in California? You don’t even have to imagine. You’ll have the chance to see this living giant, along with a host of other creatures, in real life.

Killer Weather + Killer Wildlife. Orcas, Blue Whales, & Dolphins
Thursday September 12th, 2019 was a day to remember here in Monterey Bay, CA. During our all day trip, we enjoyed watching several groups of Blue whales surface outside of Carmel bay when all of a sudden a group of three Killer Whales came flying into the area at a speed of about 10 knots. The Blue whales fled and simultaneously a group of about 100 Pacific White Sided dolphins came into the area and began bow riding the boat. The dolphins soon discovered the Orcas were in town and the dolphins turned Southwest and also fled the area. We stayed with the group of three Killer Whales all the way down South to the Bixby bridge where even more Blue whales were found. Book your tickets for all day trips now and enjoy extra time spent with wild and free animals.

False Killer Whales | Rare Dana Point California Sighting | Capt. Dave's Whale Watching
A pod of approximately 30 false killer whales (Pseudorca) made a rare visit to Dana Point.
False Killer Whales are rarely seen off of Southern California. They are normally found in warmer waters. We last saw them in April 2016.
False killer whales are a member of the dolphin family, just like killer whales. They can reach lengths of 15 to 20 feet and weigh about 1,500 pounds. They are outgoing and can be found with other cetaceans such as bottlenose dolphins.

Monterey Bay Whale Watch, Humpbacks and Dolphins, 4/14/17
We were so lucky to join the all-day trip at Monterey Bay Whale Watch, which is owned and operated by a marine biologist Nancy Black. The truly professional and well-organized whale watching tour is focused on learning about the whales in their environment, and it left us with great memories. We've seen the socializing, breaching and slapping behavior of humpbacks whales, and how they interact with Pacific white-sided dolphins.

USA in 4K part 3: Whale watching in Monterey Bay
this is a part of our trip to USA - contains shoots from the whale watching boat trip in Monterey Bay.
The Monterey coast is one of the best places in California — or perhaps in the world — to watch whales and other marine life.
Whales come to the Monterey Bay because it's full of things they like to eat. Plankton, krill, squid, and anchovies are all carried to the ocean's surface by a perfect combination of wind, the angle of the coastline and the earth's rotation.
In fact, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is almost like Africa's Serengeti plains, rich in wildlife. More than 30 species of marine mammals, 180 species of seabirds and shorebirds, and at least 525 species of fish live in it.
