Whale Watching in Ventura
Information about Whale Watching in Ventura California
The waters off Ventura not only get gray Whales during the migration but Ventura is also very close to the channel islands. A great area for Whale Watching due to the large variety of Whales and Marine life that migrate to or live in the waters. The possibilities of sightings would be the same as Santa Barbara. Whales include Gray Whales, Blue Whales, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales and sometimes Orcas (Killer Whales). Dolphin include Common, Bottlenose, Risso's, Pacific White Sided and Dall's Porpoise. Sealions are a common sighting as are Harbor Seals and you might also see an Elephant Seal. Other sea animals include Sharks, fish, Jelly fish and many different sea birds.

I have not yet been Whale Watching from or visited either of the Harbors in Ventura County. I have heard the areas are beautiful and the Marine Mammals you might see would be the same as from Santa Barbara. Ventura seems more focused on the Island tours then the Whale Watching and Whale Watching schedules and information seem harder to find. They do often see Whales and Dolphin on their trips to the Channel Islands. For better Whale Watching especially not during the Gray Whale migration I would personally recommend you drive a little further north and go Whale Watching out of Santa Barbara.
