San Francisco Whale Watching

San Francisco whale watching, best of how to whale watching in San Francisco Bay and Northern California is the information you will find here.

I didn't know I could go whale watching in San Francisco and I have lived here for over 30 years!

I went whale watching on a trip with my husband for his birthday. It was a lot of fun! Below are the highlights of our trip!

Recap Of Our Whale Watching Trip
On December 11, 2009

• Cold, wintry day.

• I took Dramamine so I didn't get sick. My husband has a stomach of steel - he was fine.

• The "Kitty Kat" was the name of the boat with San Francisco Whale Tours. Very nice, clean, double hulled catamaran - fast too!

• 35 tourists and locals looking for whales.

• Mammal sightings: dolphins on the way out, spray from a whale's spout, one grey whale from a few seconds going under.

• Would I do it again? Tomorrow - sign me up!

• Recommendations: pick a warm sunny day, take Dramamine or equivalent, bring your camera, and lots of layers.

If I went whale watching in San Francisco again I would definitely choose San Francisco Whale Tours. They are a professional tour company who are ecologically minded.

I hope you choose to go whale watching in San Francisco - I had a great day.

P.S. We bought our tickets through Groupon and saved 50%! I like that.
