The Santa Barbara Channel
is home to many species of marine mammals. In fact, the Santa
Barbara Museum of Natural History has documented over 30 species
of cetaceans, or whales and dolphins in the Santa Barbara Channel.
Pacific Gray Whales
This year an estimated 28 thousand Pacific Gray Whales will
journey through the channel on their migration between Alaska
and Baja California. On their way south, they pass along the
Channel Islands, about 25 miles off our coast. Beginning in
mid February, as they make their way north again, the mothers
and calves stay close to the Santa Barbara coastline, coming
within a few hundred yards from shore. Join us for an experience
of a lifetime as we journey alongside these magnificent animals
on a 2½ hour whale watching excursion mid February through
mid May.
Often on these trips
we see Common, Risso's and Bottlenose Dolphins, California Sea
Lions and Harbor Seals. Occasionally, we are lucky enough to
view Orcas, Humpback, Minke, and Pilot Whales.
Blue and Humpback Whales
From July through September the Blue and Humpback Whales visit
the area to feed on the krill produced in the Santa Barbara
Channel. In recent years the largest concentration of Blue Whales
in the world has been in our channel in addition to large numbers
of Humpback Whales, which are usually seen off the coast of
Hawaii.
