The waters off San Diego are home to a diverse amount of marine wildlife. There are several whale watching companies that provide year-round trips because there is always a possibility of seeing cetaceans any day of the year! Some species are more predictable than others and tend to follow a seasonal pattern, but it can vary year-to-year! The following chart outlines what we generally see in our area and when.
For more information on any of these species, there are Fact Sheets available on ACS National Chapter's website. Find them here!
