Wintering Gray Whales and Friends

Sunday 1/23/22 Close encounters with a group of 4 amazing Gray Whales, Sea Lions and an Otter!

Sat 1/22/22 Started off with a couple groups of shy Gray Whales, then came across two Humpback Whales and finished the tour with an active group of Gray Whales that were rolling, waving and spy-hopping. The active group also had Pacific White-Sided Dolphins with them.
