We followed them as they were pursuing a harbor porpoise. Soon we came upon a pod of Risso's #dolphins and white sided dolphins! They swam alongside our boat the #SeaGoddess for a bit. On our return to #MossLanding, a lone #humpbackwhale started breaching near us! It was the perfect climax to an action packed day. 📸Naturalist: Emily Amelia Captain: Tim Zoliniak 📸Deckhand: Alex Drzaic #SeaGoddessWhaleWatch #seagoddesswhalewatching #Whalewatch #whalewatching #whalewatchingtours #naturephotography #naturetour #wildlife #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #savethewhales #marinesanctuary #ocean #NorthernCalifornia #Monterey #NorCal #humpbackwhales #naturelover #whales #whale #Humpbacks #orca

Happy Memorial Day! Amazing holiday weekend here on the Bay! 5/27 - 9:30am Trip - Continuing with our sightings yesterday of #killerwhales, both tours today had the wonderful opportunity to see more of these #orcas as they swam around the #MontereyBay. We believe this pod to be number 51 under the California Killer Whale Project, containing a large male, Jimmy and females, Star and Aurora, accompanied by several younger #orcas. We followed these orcas around for a while and watched in awe as they came up to the surface and dove back down, then we ventured onward out into the #Monterey bay and came across some #humpbackwhales that were feeding along some #California Sea lions! It was a fantastic sighting seeing all those marine mammals in one place. 📸Naturalist: Jonah Gier Captain: Tim Zoliniak Deckhand: John Thomson #SeaGoddessWhaleWatch #seagoddesswhalewatching #Whalewatch #whalewatching #whalewatchingtours #naturephotography #naturetour #wildlife #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #savethewhales #marinesanctuary #ocean #NorthernCalifornia #MossLanding #NorCal #humpbackwhale #naturelover #whales #humpback #SeaGoddess #Humpbacks #orca

5/26 - 3:30pm Trip - Today on our evening tour, we spent much of our time with a pod of #orcas! The matriarch of the pod, her name is Aurora, and the big male, his name is Jimmy. The pod was comprised of 6 individuals, including a little baby #whale that Aurora was showing how to breach out of the water. We spent most of our time following this pod around and watching as they flung themselves out of the water over and over again! They gave us so many fantastic views. Later on the trip, we came across a #humpbackwhales as well as two pods of rissos and pacific white sided #dolphins! It was such a great day out on the water! 📸Naturalist: Jonah Gier Captain: Tim Zoliniak Deckhand: Veronica Watkins #SeaGoddessWhaleWatch #seagoddesswhalewatching #Whalewatch #whalewatching #whalewatchingtours #naturephotography #naturetour #wildlife #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #savethewhales #marinesanctuary #ocean #NorthernCalifornia #SeeMonterey #MossLanding #NorCal #humpbackwhale #naturelover #whales #humpback #Monterey #SeaGoddess #MontereyBay #Humpbacks #orca

5/25 - 9:30am Trip - It was a brisk and windy morning as we went out into the #MontereyBay today. The visibility was pretty good. There were a quite a few scattered #humpbackwhales that were feeding at depth for the most part. We did find a pair that came over close briefly before going back to feeding at depth and were able to see a few of the #humpbacks do breaches in the area. 📸Naturalist: Alex Drzaic Captain: Tim Zoliniak Deckhand: Jonah Gier 12:30pm Trip - Today was a splendid day out on the water, kicking off #MemorialDayweekend. We saw plenty of #humpback #whales alongside some #california sea lions. Some of the sea lions gave us a show as they jumped in and out of the water around our boat #SeaGoddess. We also saw some great birds too, such as brown pelicans, gulls, cormorants, and sooty shearwaters.

BOOM!!! Another Great weekend with #SeaGoddess 5/18 - Today was one of the best days out on the water I've had in a while! For both our midday and afternoon trips, we witnessed #humpbackwhales breaching back to back, putting on a stunning display for everyone on board. I'll let the photos and videos speak for themselves. 📸Naturalist : @Jonah Gier Deckhand : Juliette Levy Captain: Tim Zoliniak 5/19 - 9.30am - On the morning trip today the #MontereyBay was super active. We had dozens of #humpback #whales at varying distances around the boat #SeaGoddess throughout the entire trip. We saw plenty of breaches, and had one particular individual that was very friendly, pectoral slapping and breaching close to the boat for at least a half an hour. We rounded off our trip with a pod of 5 #orcas about 2 miles from the #MossLanding harbor. They were actively swimming around a small area and appeared to be toying with a group of sea lions. 12.30pm - On our second trip we returned to the same pod of orcas we saw briefly in the morning. At this time they were in the process of hunting a sea lion, and we were treated to a very active show with lots of jumps. We ended our trip by moving farther out and around the #Monterey bay and looking at some #humpbacks.

5/16 - We had a whale of a day on #MontereyBay! As we left #MossLanding Harbor, we came upon a cow and calf pair of #humpbackwhales! The calf was energetic as it breached multiple times and performed pectoral slaps on the surface. We soon came across a massive feeding taking place that included Risso's #dolphins, they swam alongside our boat the #SeaGoddess and were porpoising as they began to swim off into the distance. 📸Naturalist: Emily Amelia Captain: Tim Zoliniak #SeaGoddessWhaleWatch #seagoddesswhalewatching #Whalewatch #whalewatching #whalewatchingtours #nature #naturetour #wildlife #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #savethewhales #marinesanctuary #ocean #NorthernCalifornia #Monterey #NorCal #California #savetheocean #pacificocean #naturelover #whale #seemonterey #Humpback #Humpbackwhales #humpbacks

5/13 - 9:30am Trip - It was a nice brisk overcast day with very little swell out on #MontereyBay. As we made our way out into the bay, we saw quite a few #humpbackwhales being very active at the surface. There were a few breaches, tail throws, pectoral fin slaps and rolling from the #whales out there today to the delight of our passengers. Two of the #humpbacks were curious and came very close to the boat #SeaGoddess during our tour as well before they took off. 📸Naturalist: Alex Drzaic Captain: Tim Zoliniak Deckhand: Emily Amelia Deckhand: Juliette Levy #SeaGoddessWhaleWatch #seagoddesswhalewatching #Whalewatch #whalewatching #whalewatchingtours #naturephotography #naturetour #wildlife #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #savethewhales #marinesanctuary #ocean #NorthernCalifornia #SeeMonterey #MossLanding #savetheocean #NorCal #humpbackwhale #California #pacificocean #naturelover #whale #humpback #monterey

Our Story

The Monterey Bay is California’s best location for viewing humpback whales, killer whales a.k.a. orcas, gray whales, blue whales, great white sharks and the abundance of marine species including dolphins, jellyfish and mola mola, which call the Pacific Ocean home. Sea Goddess Whale Watching promises you a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our whale watching tours depart from Moss Landing, at the mouth of the Monterey Bay Canyon, one of the largest underwater canyons in the world! The canyon is a nutrient-rich zone that attracts all types of marine life, making Moss Landing the best place for whale watching tours in the entire state of California, and Monterey Bay including San Francisco. In fact, the Monterey Bay is home to resident whales & dolphins and visited by so many migratory whales that we’re able to offer guaranteed whale sightings year-round
