This is why @cityofdanapoint has the honor of being the only Whale Heritage Site on North America. 🐋🐋🐋 We had to share this stunningly beautiful and majestic scene from @captdaveswhalewatching. Repost below. • Maybe the only thing better than being 'mugged' by a blue whale is having one turn on its side and lift its pectoral flipper, almost as if waving hello! 🐋👋 Close encounters with whales are on their terms. Our boat is in neutral and the whale decides how close to get to us. (📷: Drone

Imagine yourself on the Ocean Adventure—checking this off your bucket list 🐋✨ You have to witness the Magical Migration happening right now along our coast! Did you know: • Gray whales migrate up to 10,000–12,000 miles round trip, one of the longest migrations of any mammal • They travel from Arctic feeding grounds to warm lagoons in Baja to give birth • Known as the “friendly whale,” gray whales are often curious and approach boats • You can spot their heart-shaped blows, flukes, and even moth

Yesterday afternoon we celebrated a new year and a new baby whale! We witnessed a migrating gray whale giving birth a few miles off the coast of Dana Point (a 1st for us in 25 years of whale watching). After surfacing, the newborn calf began learning how to swim and bonding with its mother. The female even brought her calf over to our boats as if to show off her offspring and say hello! Gray whales prefer to give birth in the warm and protected lagoons of Baja California, Mexico. The lagoons off
