Join us on the open ocean searching for the elusive blue
whale. Blue whales are not migratory but follow food
supplies around the world's oceans. During this time of the
year, they are often found (with the experienced eyes of our
Captain and naturalists) between our coast and Catalina
Island feeding on the local fare of fish and plankton. Share
the day with the largest animal ever to live on the Earth...
the blue whale. Opportunities also arise to observe dolphin,
ocean sunfish, and more.
