During our all day trip today June 8th, 2019 we enjoyed watching this group of Killer Whales known as "Bumper, Comet, Star & Orion" play after feeding on a Sea Lion. Humpback whales intervened in the hunt as well. So lucky to spend #worldoceansday with these animals! Join us in our commitment to protecting our oceans!

We are with the CA51s right now! They are called the “friendly” pod, because they love to approach boats and look up at all the people! Check out this amazing video by one of our passengers, Hailey Ferko! The boat was in neutral and the whales approached us. #mbww #gowhales #killerwhales #orcas #ca51s #seemonterey #whalewatching #wildandfree #endcaptivity
As I was setting up for this shot, I was hoping that the couple at the bottom of the stairs would eventually move. They never did. So I politely asked them to step to the left just a bit so I could snap a shot. They were kind enough to do so. When I was going through those pictures later, I ended up liking the one with them in it better!

HAPPENING NOW!! The CA51s and CA51As have come together in a family reunion of 9 “friendly” Orcas! We are sitting in neutral and drifting and they came right up to the boat, which this group often does! We have been having amazing Orca sightings, book a trip with us now! #mbww #gowhales #killerwhales #orcas #seemonterey #monterey #whalewatching #wildandfree #endcaptivity
Today we had a very rare sighting of Baird’s Beaked Whales! These have not been sighted in the Bay since last year, and we have never seen such a large group! Baird’s Beaked Whales are the largest of the Beaked Whales. They usually dive more than 3,300 feet, and can hold their breath for an hour! Luckily, they have very consistent diving patterns: they were only diving 25 minutes at a time today, and staying up for close to 8 minutes every surfacing! These cetaceans average about 36 feet long, and are in groups of between 5-20 whales (have been sighted in groups of over 50). We saw a group of 24 individuals, which included two calves. One of the adults even breached! Check out this amazing footage that our drone pilot, @JasonOpenOcean, captured from today’s sighting! #GoWhales #BairdsBeakedWhales #BeakedWhales #DeepDivers #OpenOcean #RareSighting #MontereyBay #SeeMonterey #MarineBiology #natgeo #natgeomyshot #news #media #kion #ksbw
