Whale Watching in Monterey Bay

We’re now in Moss Landing, CA at the KOA campground. It was about a 4-hour drive from Barrett Cove campground. We arrived Monday afternoon to temperatures in the 60s – very comfortable. Super!

We signed up for a whale watching tour on Tuesday. We didn’t know what to expect. Our last whale watching was in San Diego 25 years ago and we didn’t see any whales.

This time it was different. Much different.

We checked into the Sea Goddess Whale Watch Office about Noon

We boarded the Goddess Fantasy at 12:30

Our whale watching was in Monterey Bay from 2 to 4 miles from shore

We were only about 30 minutes out when we spotted our first whale – a Humpback:

Then we headed into deeper water and saw one of several blue whales . . .

We were so lucky!
