Gray Whales

As their name indicates, the Gray Whale can be most easily identified by its deep gray coloring peppered with white patches. Considered to be a medium sized whale, Gray Whales can reach up to 45 feet in length. The Gray Whale is known best for having one of the longest migrations of any mammal on the planet. Due to their unique migratory patterns, Gray Whales can be seen typically between November and April off the coast of Long Beach. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these majestic beauties!

Humpback Whales

The Humpback Whale is always a crowd favorite when spotted during a whale watching excursion. With its uniquely patterned tail fluke and wing-like flippers, the Humpback Whale is a sight to behold. These whales make their way to the coasts of California during the summer months to feed, delighting whale watchers with their signature acrobatic moves. In fact, Humpback Whales regularly jump out of the water- a sight not to be missed on your tour.
