We have had some incredible adventures thus far, and the best lies in the coming months.

June and July mean Humpback Whales and other wildlife abound in the Santa Barbara Channel. Channel Islands Whale Watching is proud to announce our SEAFARI TOUR.

We tracked along with 3 grays for several miles. After that, we traveled through what seem like endless dolphin pods.

We had an incredible four days of Humpback observation around the Channel Islands region. Approximately 20 whales have moved into the east channel and have been very boat friendly.

Capt Alex here, just had an amazing season so far with our Grey whales but I am happy to announce that one of our greatest seasonal visitors is here!!!! We spent the last few days hanging out with HUMPBACK WHALES!!!

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We had calm water with a little fog. Tracking a Mother Gray whale and her Calf for approximately 5 Miles made for another great day onboard!!!
