DAILY WHALE WATCHING CRUISES
The Blue Whales are here! The Blue Whale season runs May – October. Remember that whale watching is year round at Dana Wharf as we see the Gray Whale migration November – April! The Blue Whales are the largest mammal on Earth and can grow to over 100 feet long! Whaling in the 1900’s caused a severe decline in the blue whale population along the Pacific coast of the United States. Once hunting was banned, the blue whale population has slowly started to recover. Before whaling was commercialized, blue whale numbers along the Pacific were estimated to be around 200,000. Today, the blue whale population around the world is estimated to be around 12,000. Approximately 2,000 blue whales call the Pacific coast their home. The blue whale is listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List. These gentle giants are truly an amazing sight to see! We saw 216 Blue Whales last season and each year the number of sightings increases!
