The northeastern Santa Barbara Channel was teeming with cetaceans today.
On a gorgeous, sunny and very calm/glassy day, the Condor Express encountered a total of 7 humpback whales, 2 Minke whales and at least 750 common dolphins. Among the humpbacks we had visits by Rope, Chomper, and the mom with the split-dorsal calf. Many of the 7 humpbacks were feeding on anchovies on the surface which created an additional thrill to behold.
We’re back on our normal schedule the rest of the week. C’mon out and join the Fall California Whale Season.
