On our day trips, we were excited to have 1 fin whale and 2 humpback whales feeding on a huge baitball. We were photo-bombed by friendly, inquisitive, hungry dolphins! We saw two types of Bottlenose dolphin, the Nearshore and Offshore. We also had a super-pod of thousands of Long-beaked Common dolphins, circling the baitball and taking turns to feed on the hapless fish. We were in awe of their power, grace and beauty as many entertained us by bow-riding between feeding bouts, showing us their incredible skills. Thousands of Sooty Shearwaters, recent arrivals from the South Island of New Zealand, were amongst the zig-zagging dolphins, enjoying a feast of fish protein. We encourage you to join us again with your friends on a future San Diego Whale Watch.
