Blue Whales today in Monterey Bay

 

8/14/18: BLUE WHALES!! We spotted 3 blue whales today! The blue whales were seen along with phalaropes (ocean shorebirds) indicating the blue whales are feeding in the Monterey Bay! We had good looks at the blues then on to view some great white sharks.

8/13/18: Whale Watching on Velocity, More local whales today near Soquel canyon! About 6 animals. Lunge feeding! 2 sharks, and otters (moms and pups). Sooty-shearwater and pink footed shearwater, Cassin’s auklet. Mola-mola, sea nettles, and sea lions!
And on-board Legacy, we saw mama/pup humpbacks swimming several miles off Santa Cruz, showing tail flukes and enjoying the day. Plus, harbor porpoises, California sea lions, lots of mola mola, stinging sea nettles, and good looks at our Monterey Bay sea otters.
