Fin Whales & Breaching Humpbacks- Blue Ocean Whale Watching Monterey Bay

This video was taken 6/25/11 and shows a fin whale that swam right underneath our boat--you can see the "foot prints" in the beginning of the video (the upwelling water the whale creates by taking a stroke of it's tail) as the whale swam right under us. We then ventured further out into the bay and found dozens of humpbacks. A pair we were with breached together completely out of the water (picture at the end). The video shows one of the whales chin-slapping and pec-slapping with the long pectoral fins.

Blue Ocean Whale Watch runs trips out of Moss Landing, CA. Halfway around the Monterey Bay between Santa Cruz and Monterey.
