The Santa Barbara Channel is home to many species of marine mammals. In fact, the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum has documented over 30 species of cetaceans, or whales and dolphins in the channel.
Grey Whale Breaching 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 experienc 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.
