3hr Whale Watch

This is a 3-hour whale watching experience on Monterey Bay aboard ENOCEAN’s premium 6-passenger vessel, departing from Moss Landing, CA.

Designed for small groups, this trip offers a more intimate, comfortable, and immersive way to experience marine wildlife. With limited capacity, every guest has space to move freely, enjoy unobstructed views, and fully take in the experience.

We'll offer onboard photography and videography advice, and help you anticipate the animals' behavior, whether you're shooting on an iPhone or a professional camera.

Our boat is fast and capable, allowing us to explore more efficiently while maximizing time with wildlife all within responsible marine life viewing guidelines.

What Can We See?

We search for a wide variety of wildlife including:

• Humpback whales (March - December)
• Blue whales Summer Months
• Gray whales (Winter/Spring)
• Killer whales (Year around with High Chances Mid April to Mid May and Fall)
• Dolphins (Pacific White-sided, Risso's, Northern Right-whale, and Coastal Bottlenose dolphins)
• Seabirds
• Sea lions and Seals

There are no guarantees on specific species. However, a whale sighting is guaranteed. If we do not see a whale, you will receive a complimentary return trip.

Spring (Mid-March to Mid-May)
The springtime is often referred to as killer whale season in Monterey Bay. Transient or Bigg’s killer whales gather in Monterey Bay to hunt migrating gray whales. Mid-April to mid-May is usually the peak time to observe these hunts on a trip. In addition to gray whales and killer whales, spring is when humpback whales start to return to feed for the year. We can also see a variety of dolphins and possibly blue whales and fin whales. Spring is also a great time for birding. Black-footed albatross are common, but it is also possible to see Laysan albatross, a variety of auks, shearwaters and more.
