Whale Watching
Whale watching trips run December through June.
Come aboard with us to see one of natures's greatest spectacles just outside the quaint harbor of Morro Bay.
It's the annual migration of over 80,000 gray whales on their 10,000 mile journey between Alaska and Mexico! You will see a view of this scenic coastline that very few people get to enjoy while listening to the stories that describe the history, habits and interesting information about whales and the many other type of sea life and spectacular sights of the ocean.
Whale watching is a fun and educational treat that you and your family will remember forever! Each 2½ hour narrated tour explains the history, habits, and other interesting information about the whales that frequent the central California coast. You will also experience many types of sea life found here and enjoy the scenic California coastline.
The waters off Morro Bay are home to an incredible assortment of marine mammals. The most common whales sighted on our whale watching adventures are the majestic Grey, but the central coast hosts over 30 different species of whales and dolphins. Occasionally, we spot Orcas, Humpbacks, Minke, Pilot and Blue Whales. 
In recent years Humpback Whales, which are usually seen off the coast of Hawaii, have been visiting the area during the summer to feed on the krill produced in the clean ocean waters off Morro Bay.
Pacific Gray Whales
Considered to be one of the most resilient species on Earth, the gray whale has fought its way back from the not once but twice in the past 150 years. Today, the pacific population of brink of extinctiongray whales is no longer considered endangered, but is still protected.
This year thousands of Pacific Gray Whales will journey past Morro Bay providing whale-watchers with spectacular displays of graceful, raw power and occasionally elegant acrobatics. It’s an annual migration between the icy Northern Alaska feeding grounds and the warmer climate of Baja, Mexico for the winter where they mate and calve.
They’ll start to pass by Morro Bay in late December on their way south. In March the whales are heading north again. The mothers and calves come later as they move more slowly and closer to the coastline, even coming within a few hundred yards of shore.
