Gone Whale Watching San Diego

22/08/2024

Captain Erica’s amazing dolphin video was featured on ABC World News Tonight with David Muir this evening!

Last week, a group of dolphins was spotted leaping out of the water near San Diego. A video of their impressive display has quickly gained millions of views on social media.

It was a record-setting Blue Whale day for yesterday! We’ve encountered some pretty large groups of Blue Whales since our company began in 2019, but nothing has ever quite compared to what we witnessed on yesterday’s extended tour! We estimate that we encountered at least 100 Blue Whales in one 4 to 5 mile box! No, that’s not a typo, we legitimately mean one HUNDRED Blue Whales or more! To our knowledge this is one of the biggest groups of Blue Whales documented anywhere around San Diego!

Based on where we found the whales(about 50 miles from Mission Bay), we think it’s very likely that this summer’s Blue Whale season is going to have some serious staying power for San Diego waters!

Our daily 2.5 hour trips are continuing to have a ton of success as well. Captain Tai encountered multiple Blue Whales on each of his Signature Dolphin and Whale Watching tours(2.5 hours) that he helmed yesterday in addition to the monster numbers seen by the extended tour! We’ve officially got the summer time BLUES here in San Diego!

Gray Whale season is positively humming right now! Yesterday we saw over a dozen Gray Whales, including multiple brand new babies! We expect to see these gray whales on every trip for the new few weeks, so it’s a wonderful time to come whale watching with us!

One of the other perks of Gray Whale season is that it’s the one time of year in San Diego where whales are consistently found closer to shore! It was such a beautiful day yesterday, that this massive female Gray Whale decided to stick her head out of the water and “spyhop” to observe her surroundings! It makes for some beautiful backdrops for photos…just like this one from First Mate yesterday!

Beautiful weather forecasted this coming week, so we’ll see you all on the water!

Hello Facebook! I know we don’t post on this platform much anymore, but we saw Orcas in our local waters yesterday for the third time this year! Erica got this amazing video of a predation event on a common dolphin that we wanted to share with you! As a reminder, for the most up to date information about our daily tours be sure to follow us on instagram where we are much more active than here!
