SIGHTINGS YEAR-ROUND

High success rate

At O’Side Whales, we go out year-round, adapting to weather conditions. Each season is unique, offering the opportunity to spot different marine species depending on the time of year.

WINTER SEASON:

Winter brings unique whale sightings including gray whales, humpback whales, fin whales and various dolphin species. You may even see more rare visitors such as Cuvier’s beaked whales, false killer whales, and even orcas!

SUMMER & FALL SEASON:

Starting in May and throughout the summer, we regularly see common and bottlenose dolphins, blue whales, humpback whales, fin whales, Bryde’s whales and Minke whales. Humpback sightings peak from October to December, with the possibility of encountering exotic species like orcas, sperm whales, and large white sharks.
