It seems so far ago now but on our last day in the Monterey area we went on a Whale Watching Trip for a half day before heading up to Santa Cruz. After having our original trip cancelled due to the rough weather we felt lucky to have got a new trip booked for 9am on Sunday morning.
We travelled out on the water for about an hour. While getting to an area where there was whales we saw otters and dolphins (lots of them swimming around the boat). We then got to the area where there was whales and that's where the experience started. It was incredible!!
We could not believe the amount of whales we saw. Our guide said that there was about 50 in the area although you only see about 1 or 2 at a time as once you see them dive with their back fin you know they are going under water for about 5 mins.
Aswell as seeing so many we so them doing so many things. We we even saw one come completely out of the water and throw their self back in that iconic whale pose! I also saw one come up out of the water with it's mouth open which was very cool looking.
We were awed by nature and I will have amazing memories of this trip forever.
Hello from Spain: stunning photos with whales. Keep in touch
