Fins for sunset

By Alison Moors / May 29, 2026

We were greeted by a pod of over 500 common dolphins as we headed out today, who were stampeding straight towards a feeding frenzy. It’s here where we also found a humpback feeding alongside them! It was all fins and splashes in every direction you looked, and our guests did an amazing job calling out … Read more

Dreamy dreamy dolphin day

By Alison Moors / May 29, 2026

Conditions could not have been more stunning — glassy seas reflecting dramatic clouds on a warm spring day. We found two pods of dolphins in these dreamy conditions. First, a pod of feeding long‑beaks that were moving fast and hunting as a team; we could see fish leaping at the surface, desperately trying to escape … Read more

Dolphins Party!

By Alison Moors / May 28, 2026

Over a THOUSAND dolphins on our afternoon trip today — and a few more on our sunset run. When we head out and find this kind of abundance, it’s nothing short of spectacular. We counted 500+ short‑beaked common dolphins and 600+ long‑beaked common dolphins on a single trip — two enormous pods doing two totally … Read more

Stampede!

By Alison Moors / May 22, 2026

DOLPHIN STAMPEDE! About 8 miles offshore, the entire horizon turned to white foam — a mile‑wide stampede of long‑beaked common dolphins charging together. Thousands of them, all moving with incredible power and purpose. There are only a few places on Earth where you can truly meld into a pod of wild dolphin. We were surrounded … Read more

Wildlife Extravaganza on The Water!

The wildlife extravaganza is showing NO SIGNS of letting up! Soul‑igniting action all day long.

I’ve heard … Read more

Welcome to the brunch party à la Pacific

By Alison Moors / May 15, 2026

WOOOOO!!! It was INCREDIBLE out there! We barely had to leave the bay before we stumbled into an absolutely enormous feeding frenzy – the kind you dream about and maybe see once or twice a season in San Diego. It started with 500+ common dolphins and a single humpback whale, all charging through the bait … Read more

Dolphins All Around

By Alison Moors / April 21, 2026

We headed out into the Pacific and found dolphins everywhere we looked! Before we even made it a mile offshore, we came across a pod of long‑beaked common dolphins in a full feeding frenzy. There were tons of birds circling overhead, hoping to snag any spare fish. We continued west and found many more pods … Read more

Dolphin Party Complete With Popcorn

By Alison Moors / April 16, 2026

We’re back! After a few days off the water for weather, we finally got out there today — and the ocean delivered. This afternoon was strictly a dolphin party. We had a pod of long‑beaked common dolphins pretty close to shore, and an awesome pod of short‑beaked commons a little farther out. These shorties were … Read more

Huge Humpback Almost Tricked Us

By Alison Moors / April 12, 2026

The Pacific has been so generous to us these past few months — epic encounter after epic encounter. Some days it hardly feels real. Today kept that streak alive… whales on both trips! Our afternoon kicked off with a fin whale racing down toward Mexico! This whale had places to be — it practically escorted … Read more
