Let's go out to see whales~~ Have all the friends in the Bay Area seen it?


🐳 Whale Watching——Whale watching is a traditional tourism project in California , but is often ignored. As a person who has lived in the Bay Area for seven or eight years, and is very close to the sea but rarely goes to sea🚢, I would say that Ashamed🤣🤣but——Going to the sea to see whales is an experience that makes me very happy when I think about it. I just posted a photo of the big whale tail I took as the cover of this time. It's really fun, so I highly recommend it🍁🍁Have you all been there?


 




🐳 Introduce the origin of whale watching in California first! California is one of the few places in the world where you can see a variety of cetaceans year round, according to whale experts, migrating season, Pacific Ocean 94% Whales will be 27 miles north of San Francisco/43 km of this protected peninsula 1 miles/1.6 km to swim across. Most whales pass by in January, typically 1,000 more than 1,000 whales swim by each day. However, you can see different whales all year round. The viewing season is roughly, gray whales: 1-4months, Humpback whales: 4-9months, Minke whales:5- 10Month, Blue Whale:6-9Month, Killer Whale: 10months.

🐳So now in the golden autumn of October, it is a good time to watch whales!



 



🐳If you want to go whale watching in the Bay Area, you may wish to go theregrouponSee if there are any discounts, such as this one, it is much easier than buying tickets on the spot, you can choose various departure places, routes, sea time, etc., the whole journey will be more confident 😄



 



🐳Tell me about my own trip to the sea this time. The place I chose to board is atMonterey Baynear the afternoon12: span>30to2: 30two hours. Arrived more than half an hour earlier according to the address, changed the ticket at the service center where the car was changed, and paid the parking fee in cash8 block. There is also free parking on the street, but there are few parking spaces. If you come early, you may find a parking space. The weather is quite good. According to the website introduction, if the weather is bad and you can't go out to sea or you don't see a whale, you will get a full refund. But the guy who checked the ticket said that he didn't get a refund because he couldn't see the whale haha😄😄


 



🐳 A five-minute walk from the parking lot is the dock for the boats .


 





 



🐳The one on the right is the boat I want to get on


 



🐳 After getting on the boat, I found The boat is not big


 





 



🐳The small cabin in the boat is divided into two rows of sofas on the left and right sides. There is a small service desk. There are a lot of blankets piled up in the corner, I guess they are ready to take Phi Phi if you feel cold. However, everyone is basically outside, and few people sit in the cabin. We are all watching whales, right?



 




🐳 About ten minutes after the boat leaves, the sea becomes very clear. I can clearly see a lot of yellow jellyfish, it's amazing, and I can see blue jellyfish a few times, which is rare!



 



🐳The boat went out for about ten minutes, and suddenly I heard an exclamation from the other side of the boat, ah, found a whale, rush over😀😀


 



🐳 Saw the back, then the big tail, suddenly turned out of the water and then Falling, hey, the whole boat is screaming, so excited, just the photos can't express our amazement.


 



🐳 After the first one appears, it will be found again after a few minutes One, because the ship is equipped with sonar detection, it must not be particularly difficult to find whales, as long as there are many whales in the nearby waters.


 





 





 





 



🐳 a boatload of people kept shouting and watching each one whale. Watching whales is really an exciting journey, it is a kind of anticipation of not knowing when the whales will appear. When a jet of water suddenly spews out of the sea, or when a whale's huge back is exposed and its beautiful tail is turned out of the water, a boat of people will scream in excitement. In the end, no one took pictures anymore, they were all concentrating on appreciating it, not letting the camera block their eyes anymore.  



 





 




🐳It was an exciting and unforgettable experience, it felt good, although I didn't see the whales jumping out of the water, but It is also a beautiful thing to be able to see their traces and feel their presence. Nature is really amazing and beautiful, how harmony between man and nature can be, how wonderful, how wonderful!

出海看鲸鱼吧~~~湾区的小伙伴们都看过了吗?


🐳 Whale Watching——出海观鲸是加州的一个传统旅游项目,但是却常常被忽略。作为一个住在湾区七八年了,离海很近却甚少出海🚢的人,我表示相当惭愧🤣🤣但是——出海看鲸鱼却是让我想起来就很开心的一次经历,随便发一张我拍的鲸鱼大尾巴的照片作为这次的封面,真的很好玩的,因此强烈推荐🍁🍁小伙伴们是不是都去过了啊?


 




🐳 先介绍一下加州观鲸的由来吧!加州是世界上为数不多一年四季都能观赏到各种鲸类动物的地方,根据鲸鱼专家的说法,迁徙季节,太平洋 94% 的鲸鱼会在旧金山以北 27 英里/43 千米的这片受到保护半岛 1 英里/1.6 千米的范围内游过。大多数鲸鱼会在一月份经过此地,通常每天会有 1,000 多只鲸鱼游过。但是一年四季都是可以看到不同鲸鱼的,观赏季节大致为,灰鲸:1-4月,座头鲸:4-9月,小须鲸:5-10月,蓝鲸:6-9月,虎鲸:10月。

🐳所以现在十月金秋,正是观鲸的好时机哦!



 



🐳湾区小伙伴们如果想出海观鲸,不妨出发前去groupon看看有没有优惠,比如这种,比现场买票容易很多,可以选各种出发地、路线、出海时长等等,整个旅途会更成竹在胸😄



 



🐳说说我自己出海的这一次吧,我选的上船地点在Monterey Bay附近,时间是下午1230230两个小时的。按照地址提前了大半个小时到了,在这个汽车改成的服务中心换了票,停车费是现金付了8块。路边也可以免费停车,但车位很少,如果早点来也许可以找到车位。天气相当好啊,网站介绍上说,如果天气不好不能出海或者全程没有看到鲸鱼是会全额退票的。但是检票的小哥说,没有因为看不到鲸鱼而退款过哈哈😄😄


 



🐳 从停车的地方走过去五分钟就是泊船的码头了。


 





 



🐳右边这个就是我要上的船啦


 



🐳 上了船以后,发现 船并不大


 





 



🐳船里小小的船舱里分左右两边是两排沙发,一边的中间有一台声波探测显示屏,一边有个小小的服务台。角落里堆着很多毛毯,估计是备着如果觉得冷可以拿了披披。不过大家基本都在外面,没几个人坐到船舱里面,咱都是看鲸鱼来的不是?



 




🐳 船开出十分钟左右,海水就是变的很清,居然能清楚地看到很多很多黄色的水母,好神奇啊,还有几次可以看到蓝色的水母,很少见呢!



 



🐳船开出去十分钟左右,忽然听到船舷的另一边传来惊呼声,啊,发现鲸鱼啦,赶紧冲过去😀😀


 



🐳 看到背,然后就是大尾巴,忽然翻出水面再落下,哎,满船的人都在惊叫,好激动啊,仅仅照片已经不能表达出我们的惊叹了。


 



🐳 第一只出现以后,后面隔几分钟就会再发现一只,因为船上配有声纳探测,发现鲸鱼想必不是特别难的事,只要附近海域有很多鲸鱼。


 





 





 





 



🐳 一船人就一直大呼小叫地观赏每一只鲸鱼。看鲸鱼真的是个很让人兴奋的旅程,那是一种对于不知道何时鲸鱼会出现的期待。当海面上忽然喷出了水柱,或者鲸鱼巨大的脊背露出来随即美丽的鱼尾翻出水面的时候,一船的人都会兴奋地尖叫赞叹。到后来,都没什么人再拍照了,都在专心欣赏,不让相机再挡住眼睛了。 



 





 




🐳这是一次兴奋的让人难忘的体验,感觉很美好,虽然没有看到鲸鱼们跃出水面,但是可以看到它们的踪迹,感受到它们的存在,也是一件美好的事情。大自然真的太神奇太美好了,人与自然可以这样的和谐,多好,多好!
