We’ve had such a variety of whale encounters recently- seeing blue whales, fin whales, minke whales, Bryde's whales and of course, this humpback! Sometimes we see whales from a distance, and sometimes they try to take a peek at us from closer. Only toothed whales and dolphins have echolocation, so baleen whales like this humpback rely on physical sight to see around them and their ears to hear. The spyhopping behavior of the humpback whale is an example of their playful curiosity- it wanted to see us!

It’s Throwback Thursday! This humpback whale was definitely in the spirit with its tail throws! We’ve had many awesome trips over the years, and it’s no fluke that we’ve seen some amazing things, but we want to hear from you- what was your favorite moment from a past trip with us? Let’s hear your trip tales and the moments that were unforgettably magical!

Epic humpback whale breaching right next to our catamaran this morning!

Recent trips have also seen blue whales, fin whales, and minke whales. Don't miss this summertime whale-apalooza at Dana Point!

Amazing sightings over the weekend, including 17 fin whale encounters throughout Saturday’s safaris, were enhanced by this very friendly fin whale. Almost like an inspection, this fin whale ‘mugged’ our boat and allowed everyone to get a great glimpse of the beauty beneath us.

Our engines remained in neutral to allow the whale to hear us while keeping it safe because fin whales don’t have echolocation.

Whales are curious about us just as we are about them, so it’s always fun when we know we’re out there watching each other.

Wonderful look at Risso's dolphins (Grampus griseus) underwater in the wild. In the clear blue ocean, their skin seems to glow, giving them an otherworldly quality. Sadly, these beautiful animals are still hunted in places like Taiji, Japan, where the dolphins are slaughtered or sold to marine aquariums. #wildandfree #emptythetanks

Absolutely unforgettable encounter with a minke whale yesterday during our Zodiac Safari off the coast of Dana Point, CA. This friendly whale approached our boat and acted almost like a puppy! During the encounter, known as a 'whale mugging" our engines remained in neutral. Since minke whales don't have echolocation, keeping the engines on allows the whale to hear the boat and know its location.

Happy #FriYay ! We're looking forward to a fun holiday weekend with more of these FINtastic fin whales. We recently had a couple of whales 'mug' our catamaran. They came over to us, and at one point even turned over and swam upside down next to the boat! During a whale 'mugging' our boat has the engines on and in neutral for the whale's safety, so that we don't move but the whale can still hear us.

Dolphins look downright small next to the fin whale, and a bottlenose dolphin’s average size is bigger than what we’d consider a tall human being to be. Fin whales, which we've been seeing almost every day recently, average 75 to 80 feet long. Bottlenose dolphins range in size from 6 to 13 feet.
