Another Feeding Frenzy – 7/11/25
Today we have had another unforgettable day. In the area where we found the orcas, the water was a bit wavy, so the orcas had to lift their head higher above the surface to be able to breathe, an excellent opportunity for us to see their face. We found a group of orcas working on…

Election Day Whale Watch – 4/11/25
We had an amazing group onboard today from the Manalapan High School science classes, and what a trip they picked! The students were treated to four different humpback whales, all feeding just one to two miles off the beaches of Spring Lake, Sea Girt, and Manasquan. Even with the breeze, the ocean stayed surprisingly calm,…

A New Life – 2/11/25
Today, on our whale-watching trip, we witnessed something I never would have thought we would. We were with a group of orcas, mostly juveniles and females. They seemed to be feeding actively. Sometimes we saw a female accelerate on the surface, but I thought she was about to jump. Later, it turned out to be…

Bubble Net Feeding in the Salish Sea – 30/8/25
I think the thing that stood out to me the most was that humpback bubble feeding here. And it’s a young whale, BCY0505 “Dolphin”, I want to say it’s mom is BCX1480 “Spotlight”. Dolphin is not very old. I want to say it’s maybe a 2022 calf where did it learn this? And like in one day, not only was it bubble net feeding by itself, but it was doing that, like, krill skim feeding in the morning with BCY0994 “Dalmatian”. So clearly it’s a very versatile animal. And so for this young animal to be so well versed in various feeding mechanisms, that’s very intriguing to me. So, that might be the coolest. Well, not, you know, I mean, there are so many cool stories this summer. It’s hard to choose just one. But I think that that’s a real standout one. I got way too excited when it was happening and I was like, oh, I’m gonna contain this and it was really funny because I was very vocally excited and I was like, oh, I should contain myself. And then I had a passenger going, no, no, no, please don’t contain yourself. This is great. And I’m like, okay. It was just so cool and it wasn’t a one off. This animal did multiple bubble net scenarios. It was like that’s something we expect to the north, but not here. I’ve seen Prowler do sort of like a half circle of bubbles, like testing out this method, but I’ve never seen like the full bubble net circle where the ring gets tighter and tighter. It was really cool. -Ashley This post was adapted from a voice recording in episode 86 of the Whale Tales Podcast, listen here

A Breaching Right Whale – 16/10/25
Wowie! We did not expect to run into two adult Southern Right whales along our morning charter! These two were super relaxed with their surfaces, originally spotting them early just out of the moorings. Southern Right whales are distinct from their white callosity formations on their rostrums as well as a lack of dorsal fin.…
