7.14.2025 AM and PM Whale Watch

Our whale watching adventure aboard the Legacy was an unforgettable experience. On both outings, we were incredibly lucky to encounter the majestic blue whales, the largest animals on the planet. Although we had to wait around 14 minutes for one of the blue whales to resurface, the moment it appeared was absolutely worth the anticipation.

In addition to the blue whales, we were also treated to lively encounters with common dolphins, which added energy and excitement to the trip as they swam and played near the boat.

Overall, the combination of rare blue whale sightings and the playful presence of dolphins made for a truly remarkable and memorable whale watching experience.

Calm waters under a marine layer, but nobody seemed to mind as we went to the spot where a Blue Whale had been sighted in the morning and found it enjoying eating plenty of krill. We were about 12 miles out in about 1200 feet of water, and the whale didn’t seem to mind being close to us as we hovered nearby. We had many good views of its huge spout and arching back, but it stopped just short of fluking. The cycle was about 5-6 blows before a deep 10-12 min. dive. Everyone was excited to be part of the 1% club!

It was a relatively calm day, with a high overcast, and great visibility as we headed out into the Pacific Ocean. It didn’t take us too long to find a pod of 200 Common Dolphin. This was a very active pod with a lot of high (10′ – 15′) breaches. But as active as they were, we pushed on to deeper water in search of bigger game. Finally we found our Blue, We caught the last couple of blows and got a good view of the steeply arched back as he went down for his deep dive. Fourteen minutes later he resurfaced fairly near us, so we were able to observe 5 or 6 shallow dives before he went deep again. By this time we were out of time and headed back to the dock.
