Not as many whales as the open water tour, but this tour features the calmer waters of the Monterey Bay off Santa Cruz Cove. The Grey Whales in the bay here are often younger whales that have stopped to rest or feed during their 6000 mile migration from Mexico to Alaska. Morning and evening tours are available, private tours too. This tour is great for beginners!
