The Gray Whales are Back in San Diego’s Coastal Waters!

While San Diego locals and visitors to San Diego can enjoy year-round leisurely cruises around the San Diego Bay, the world’s longest migration of grey whales only happens December through April. These magnificent mammals begin their yearly migration in early October and have been spotted in San Diego’s coastal waters a little earlier than usual this year.

Rare Sighting: False Killer Whales

Aboard our whale watching tour off the San Diego coast last Friday, passengers were treated to a sighting of False Killer Whales. Identified by our onboard naturalist, False Killer Whales are similar in appearance to their cousins the Orca. They are more commonly seen in warmer, tropical waters, but a specific pod of 30-40 False Killer Whales has been making periodic spring visits to Southern California since 2014, providing a once-in-a-lifetime encounter for anyone lucky enough to see them.
