The canyon’s nutrient-rich waters attract many marine animals, making this spot one of the best for whale watching in Monterey Bay and California.

Guests can choose premium VIP upper deck seating for better views. A marine biologist guides the tour, providing information about the whales and other marine life you may see. During the trip, you may spot humpback whales, orcas, gray whales, blue whales, great white sharks, dolphins, jellyfish, and mola mola.
