Blue Whale Encounters: Where's the Best Place to See Them?

Описание: San Diego just might be the best place in the world to see a Blue Whale.

Witnessing a Blue Whale is one of the most incredible experiences you can have: and after almost a decade on the water, I truly believe that right now San Diego is the most reliable place in the world to see Blue Whales in the early summer.

In this video, I share firsthand footage and insight from my time tracking and filming Blue Whales off the coast of Southern California. You’ll see incredible close encounters that all happened respectfully — on the whales’ terms — during tours I run through my company, Gone Whale Watching here in San Diego. I also give a quick rundown of alternative locations Blue Whales can be seen in California, and how they compare to San Diego. I also acknowledge how the word "best" is subjective, and that Blue Whales are one of the hardest species in the world to predict.

Over the past decade, I’ve dedicated my life to photographing and documenting marine wildlife — including working on nature documentaries for NBC, BBC, and Apple TV+. But this video is about answering a simple question with as much honesty and experience as possible:
Where should someone go if they really want to see a Blue Whale?

🔹 Why I believe San Diego is the most reliable destination for Blue Whale watching
🔹 What makes an encounter respectful, safe, and ethical
🔹 When the Blue Whales typically arrive each summer — and how ocean conditions affect their patterns
🔹 How my team uses fast boats to reach both nearshore and offshore feeding grounds for the best chance at sightings

If you're thinking about planning a trip to see Blue Whales in California — or just want to better understand these incredible animals — this video is for you!
