It’s a May Blue Whale invasion! Yesterday appeared to be a major turning point in our whale watching seasons, as we saw at least 6 different Blue Whales as well as more than half a dozen Fin Whales on our signature 2.5 hour whale watches! And don’t be deceived by how some other companies report “sightings”(some companies will see one whale on 5 trips and call it 5 “whales”) when we tell you the number of whales we see, we are talking about true individual numbers of animals seen throughout the day! Based on our communication with other boats on the water, we estimate that there was at least 20-25 Blue and Fin Whales(combined) hanging around the greater San Diego area yesterday foraging on krill!
While many of you know June is the most reliable month to see Blue Whales with us, some years months like May, July, August, or September can also have excellent success! The true “best time” to see Blue Whales is when Blue Whales are here…and they’re here right now!! Reservations are super light this weekend, so come out and see the largest animal on earth with us!!
