Whale Watching

San Diego is an ideal place for those who like to live in close proximity of nature and its associates; the birds, dolphins, sea lions, seals and above all the whales. San Diego sans whale watching is unimaginable. Hence when such an opportunity knocks at the door you must avail yourself of it.

The ideal time to watch the whales is December to March. During this particular period grey whales migrate covering a distance of nearly 6,000 miles from the Arctic to Californian lagoons. On the way the baby whales are born and follow their mothers swimming sidling up their mothers' breast.

Do you want to have a close look of the whales on your travel in San Diego CA? Then you have to get board on a cruise. There are so many cruises to cater to your service. Guided by trained naturalists and experienced captains, you are able to fully enjoy your whole happy whale watching journey.

There is another option for you to dodge the hazards of choosing a perfect cruise. There are boats with open decks. You can easily hire one of them and get excited of whale watching. Standing on the deck you would be amused to watch the whales leaping out of water. This leaping out of water is called "breaching" and it is indeed an marvelous experience especially for the man who is watching a whale for the first time.

Besides the grey whales there are some other marine animals like dolphins of different varieties that enthusiastically follow their larger counterparts. If your gaze falls on the coastline you would be amused to watch the pelicans, seals and sea-lions that throng in large number near the harbor.

Whale watching not only offers fun; if you can board a boat or a cruise with efficient crew you may learn many things. You will feel lucky to have a first hand experience of the ocean life. These crews would explain in details about the peculiar characteristics of the marine animals.
