Whale Watching Sightings Archive - Capt. Dave's Whale Watching

Since 2002, we have kept daily logs of our marine wildlife sightings during our whale watching trips. To view any previous daily sightings, click on the year you’d like to see.

Whales and dolphins are viewed throughout the year. We also see sea lions, elephant seals, harbor seal, sharks, pelagic birds, jellyfish, sea turtles, and more.

Every safari is different, and each offers a thrilling and memorable experience!
