Watch whales above Monterey Canyon

Cross one of the Pacific’s richest feeding grounds with a naturalist, using the deep submarine canyon to search for whales, dolphins, sea lions and seabirds. Moving through Monterey harbour, then submarine canyon edge, then naturalist-led wildlife search, then return gives the visit a clear sequence and keeps the landscape, people or history connected to the activity itself.

Choose a responsible operator, take motion-sickness precautions and accept that sightings vary. Remain seated when instructed and avoid any company that pursues or crowds marine mammals. Confirm the live official calendar, access conditions and local safety advice before departure, reserve any capacity-controlled element and follow instructions from guides, rangers or site staff.
