Whale Watching Expedition Cruise Starting from USD $22 per person
Duration: 3 1/2 hours
Commences: San Diego, California
Introduction:
Whale Watching
Whale Watching
© Hornblower Cruises
Follow the migration of the California Gray Whale! Exciting and educational whale watching cruises aboard a luxurious Hornblower yacht. View the whales up close enough to see and hear them spout! Seeing a California Gray Whale is an exhilarating experience! Between December and March the Gray whale travels approximately 6,000 miles from the cold waters of the Arctic to the warmer waters of the Baja Coast. Here they give birth to their young and prepare them for the long trek back. On the return trip the young calves can frequently be seen swimming at their mother's side.

Whale Watching Tip:

Count the number of times a whale spouts & you will know about how long he will dive. Three spouts means three minutes submerged, two spouts means two minutes etc.

This product is seasonal and operates only from 18 December, 2004 through to 3 April, 2005
