San Diego whale watchers just returned from a trip of a lifetime.
Right off the coast of Mission Bay, more than 100 Blue whales were spotted.
The tour boat company, Gone Whale Watching, shared some of its incredible footage with CBS 8.
"I had never seen anything like this. This was truly astonishing," Gone Whale Watching owner, Domenic Biagini said. "It's fun to see adults, almost get that Disneyland-like feel. This is one of the greatest marvels, nature has ever put on Earth. There were so many whales on the surface, and blue whales are massive, 75 feet, it looked like you could skip from whale to whale, all the way back to San Diego."

A blue whale popped up right next to me near Morro Bay about 15 years ago and looked right at me! It was one of the most mesmerizing experience of my life. Just deep knowledge way beyond us.

@ajcraft-hello 26 дней назад

Magnificent! Go if able. I was honored a few years ago to see many whales, including one Blue Whale, out on Monterey Bay. She surfaced alongside the boat right next to me and was many boat-lengths long. The Marine biologists excitedly explained how rare blue whales are, saying we were in a small group of humans able to witness these gentle giants. Happy to hear there’s a large pod off the San Diego coast❤️✨🌎

why so negative and bitter? just join in on our joy of seeing whales and having an opportunity to see them

@stellangios 26 дней назад

My thoughts exactly. And the midnight zone, with all those whale falls back then -- must have been teaming with life! (However, moaning about the cost is a bit rich -- it's not just "being on a boat": you're paying for the fleet to be maintained and for knowledgeable guides. A GOOD tour should be worth it. And if it isn't going to be done responsibly with professionals (who should be paid for their expertise)...it's not worth going on. I can't vouch for this place, but the fact that they're concerned about keeping the whales comfortable is good.)

@stellangios 26 дней назад

@@tomtom8786 It's to push back against our sliding scale of what's "normal". We tend to think a "normal" amount of animals is whatever we saw when we were young. When we look further back, to what populations were before humans or other natural disasters decimated populations, we get a better idea of what SHOULD be.

Plot twist: That guy has been using Google Translate to tell the whales to meet him there to ogle at the puny humans. Right now, somewhere off the coast of San Diego, a whale is giving a lecture on us... "The humans are a mere 1/33 the size of a T-Rex...."

@robertmcnamara5407 19 дней назад

Encounters are great adventures but how many small boats are going out there? These animals are feeding and could quite possibly stress out with all the boat traffic. We have had to stop close encounters here in parts of Oz because of stress and rarity of these great creatures. This is concerning.
