Spotting Dorsals!

Warm days in the valley make for foggy ones here on the coast, but have no fear, the whales are still here! We have been seeing the resident Gray Whales 100% of the time for nearly two and a half months now. When you go out on the water you will generally see the rostrum, dorsal, and the fluke. Looking at their backs it may be a little confusing if you've never seen them before. The dorsal fin on a gray whale is fairly small and is followed up by several dorsal ridges leading down to the tail fin. These look like knuckles would when you make a fist with your hand. There is so much more to see and learn from the ocean so don't miss your chance to come out with us! Book your trip online or over the phone at (541) 765-2345.
