Gray Whales Are Here!

Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari saw our first gray whale of the season on December 23 during our 2 1/2 hour Signature Safari and another one just yesterday. These Gray Whales are currently migrating south to the warmer waters of Baja, California. Then around mid to late February we usually begin to see them heading northbound, often with their calves.

We’d love to have you join us for the unforgettable sight of gray whales in their natural environment.
