Humpback whales are known to put on quite a show including throwing tail, lunge feeding, tail lobbing and full breeching!

Winter Gray Whale Watching: December – May

Thousands of gray whales pass by Morro Bay en route to Mexico from Alaska and back. One of earth’s greatest migrators, these whales travel over 12,000 miles round trip.
