Pacific Explorer

It's more than just Whale Watching…

Whales, dolphins, seals and birds all make incredible journeys to visit our coast. These journeys, called migrations, range from a few hundred miles to many thousands!

Explore the nearby seas aboard Conqueror to seek out such travelers as the California Gray Whale, the Bottlenose Dolphin, the California Sea Lion and a host of migratory water fowl.

 


Students will be introduced to these wandering wonders in a multimedia presentation by a marine naturalist, and they’ll keep a record of their tour on a log sheet and chart provided.
