The Santa Barbara Channel is home to an incredible assortment of marine mammals, including over 30 different species
of whales and dolphins. The most common whales sighted on our whale watching adventures are the majestic Pacific Grey Whales, but sometimes we also see the enormous Blue Whales, which can reach up to 100 feet in length and are the largest animals on the planet! On most of our whale watching trips we also see Common, Risso's and
Bottlenose Dolphins, California Sea Lions, Harbor
Seals, and lots of other marine life. Occasionally, we are even lucky enough to spot
Orcas, Humpback, Minke, and Pilot Whales.

Pacific Gray Whales
This year an estimated 28 thousand Pacific Gray
Whales will journey through the channel on their
migration between Alaska and Baja California. On
their way south, they pass along the Channel Islands,
about 25 miles off our coast. Beginning in mid February,
as they make their way north again, the mothers
and calves stay close to the Santa Barbara coastline,
coming within a few hundred yards from shore. Join
us for an experience of a lifetime as we journey
alongside these magnificent animals on a 2 and 1/2
hour whale watching excursion mid February through
mid May. |
Blue and Humpback Whales
From July through September the Blue and Humpback
Whales visit the area to feed on the krill produced
in the Santa Barbara Channel. In recent years
the largest concentration of Blue Whales in
the world has been in our channel in addition
to large numbers of Humpback Whales, which are
usually seen off the coast of Hawaii. |
