There are a lot of Humpbacks & Dolphins in the bay! It's been a great weekend so far with absolutely beautiful weather & sea conditions!

Open wide! Team work at it's best 🐳🐳

One of the most incredible things you will ever experience is seeing these magnificent humpbacks lunging full force out of the water 🌊

Humpbacks only feed 4 months out of the year, it requires a lot of energy so they will often team up to get the job done!

Thanks to our naturist @gina.thomas.906 for capturing this incredible vertical lunge feeding from yesterday's trip! It was a great day to be on a boat 🚢

It was a feeding frenzy today with big gulps of small fish & yummy anchovies!

These 4 humpbacks worked in unison, lunge feeding feasting on thousands of tiny prey in a single gulp 🙂

What a time to be on a boat! The bay is full of wildlife activity 🐳

We have trips all weekend
9am, 10, 12:30, 2, 3:30 & 5

We were honored to have an amazing photographer, Rachel celebrate her Birthday 🎉 with us yesterday & share her amazing captures! Thank you so much Rachel, we are so glad you had a wonderful time!
Happy Birthday 🎈

Reposted @rachel.z.photography

Yesterday I went whale watching for my birthday for the first time via @princessmontereywhalewatching and when I say it was life-changing…I’m not exaggerating.

We were surrounded by dozens of whales, hundreds of dolphins, sea lions, various species of birds, and otters. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, and my face hurt after 3 hours of watching in awe as these animals roamed free in their homes.

I felt like I was in a National Geographic documentary, only it was real life.

As someone who grew up only associating these aquatic animals with places like Sea World, it was everything to be able to see them completely free of captivity. If only every animal had this freedom.

If you ever get the chance to go on a whale tour, please do it. 🌊🐋🐬🦭🐟🦦🐚

Happy Friday 🐋 are you ready for the weekend? We have been seeing some incredible breaching in the bay this week!

These massive Humpbacks have been putting on some amazing shows for us 💙

Now's your time to witness a 35 ton whale launch itself out of the deep blue sea 🌊

It's certainly a trip you will never forget!

Thanks to @Mark Daoud for this beautiful breach captured yesterday.

Stunning capture of one of multiple breaching humpbacks seen in the bay today!

There was a triple breach that happened but unfortunately it was a surprise and no one caught it on camera 📸

Get on a boat to experience this magnificent behavior for yourself 🐋
