How To Experience Whale Watching With More Than Just Your Eyes

While in Southern California, you’ll most likely be able to see the ocean from many places you travel, but if you really want to experience what the ocean has to offer, you might want to consider taking a whale watching tour. It’s well known that whales are the largest mammals in the sea, but to truly understand their massive size, you have to see them for yourself.

Many tours can be taken in places all over the globe, but on these tours, you’re limited to standing up on the top. When you take a tour here, you’re able to actually become a part of life at sea. The only way you could get any closer, is to sprout fins. It’s not very likely that you will be growing fins of your own, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still come pretty close.

Sure, you could don the diving gear and take to the waves on your own, hoping to see the same thing as being on a tour. Of course, you need to know “the ropes” of diving and it does carry a touch of danger. Being aboard a boat, with someone in charge, you are assured of safety, as you do your watching of the whales. As a matter of fact, many have gone on their own and some have been injured by getting too close to what is considered a gentle animal. You are in their world and must respect it.

You may have had the chance to take a “glass-bottomed” boat ride in the past. You may have even been in a tour submarine, but the view is limited to a small area beneath or beside you. Plus you may have had many people in the way as well. In the tour that puts you into the water with glass between you and the sea, you are able to look in every direction, like being in the fun turret of a fighter plane in the sky. This will give you a much closer feeling to the animals you love to see.

You won’t just have the adventure of a lifetime, you’ll also get an education. The captain and the crew are there to teach, as well as lead the way into the great beyond and below. If and when the time ever comes where a dolphin or whale needs to be saved, these people are there to help.

A lot of people have seen whales and dolphins splashing through the waves at the surface, but not many are able to see them gliding through the water below. Along with being able to see everything that’s going on under the waves, you’re also allowed hear the animals communicating with one another. When you hear a whale singing for the very first time, it’s likely to leave a remarkable impression.

If you want to experience feeling the water on your skin, and happen to suffer from seasickness, there are nets around the boat that you are allowed to make yourself comfortable in. This is a perfect way to eliminate some of the dizziness that may happen from the motion of the boat, and you will be really close to the action above the water.

There is more water covering the earth than land and the seas are the last to be explored. If you have ever been close enough to look into the eye of a baby fin-back, looking back at you, you will never forget that feeling of communicating silently in a language familiar to you both. The language of the soul is what speaks, on whale watching experiences
