Whale Watching - Moss Landing, California
Whale watching is one of the things we like to do after moving to California. You can do whale watching all year around right off the California coast, the perfect location is Monterey Bay because it's a marine sanctuary, the fish are abundant. First time we went with Sea Goddess from Pacific Grove wharf, but it was long ways away. It took one hour each way from shore to the submarine canyon where whales hangout to feed. Second time we went with Sanctuary Cruises in Moss Landing, which is much closer to the whales, within 30 minutes boat ride we already saw whales! The whale watching operators in Pacific Grove have bigger boats, can accommodate more people, also more stable sailing on the sea. Sanctuary Cruises has smaller boat, but we like them the most because less people on the boat and you can get closer look of whales. That's why we were with them twice already! You need to take precaution for the boat ride, if you easily get sea sick. We have seen humpback whales, blue whales, dolphins, Mola Mola; we haven't seen orcas yet. We will keep going until we see them!

Whales of Moss Landing
My husband and I drove up the coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco for an eye medical trial and we stopped to go whale watching at Moss Landing. We heard that people were seeing lots of whales there. It was true. On our evening cruise, we saw about 20 whales, 10 close to the boat.
I had severe double vision, but was able to capture this short video of the whales on my phone..... The video was cut off abruptly because my mom called in! Classic timing!
It is true what they say, though, about the GOOD LUCK of seeing a Whale's Tail.... I saw quite a few.
On the way home from the medical trial, I regained my vision. and I was able to drive after 2 1/2 years of not being able to. Truly a miracle..... I don't have any tattoos, but if I were to get my first one -- it would be a whale's tail!
USA Monterey CA Whale watching
Monterey liegt etwas südlich von San Francisco und hat einen sehr schönen Sandstrand. Die Sonnenuntergänge in Monterey seien die schönsten auf der ganzen Welt hat man uns gesagt...
Sonnenuntergang war wirklich schön, aber noch einmaliger war für uns die Bootsfahrt mit Whale watching. Auf dem Video erhält man davon nur einen kleinen Eindruck. Wir sahen Delfine, Wale und ganz viele Seelöwen.
Empfehlung für Reisende:
In den Motels von Monterey hat es oft Coupons, dann wird der kostspielige Ausflug etwas günstiger. Es hat zwei grosse Anbieter, die aber ans gleich Ort fahren. Eine vorgängige Reservation ist zu empfehlen, wobei wir dies nicht machten und sehr froh waren, dass es Gott sei Dank doch noch geklappt hat!
Wir gingen mit dem günstigeren Anbieter und waren sehr zufrieden:
Humpback Whales, Moss Landing Harbor
Humpback Whales near Moss Landing Harbor, California. Hearing their breathing was striking. It was also interesting how serpentine the whales looked in person. This was on a Blue Ocean tour. A good day for whale watching, even if the whales weren't in a breaching mood.
