Whale Watching

Educational whale watching trips in northern California since 1972

Join Oceanic Society on an unforgettable whale watching trip from San Francisco. We offer whale watching trips to see humpback, blue, and gray whales that are feeding or migrating off of our coast, as well as dolphins and porpoises, seals and sea lions, seabirds, and other spectacular wildlife that call our region home. All Oceanic Society whale watching trips are led by an expert naturalist who provides in-depth information throughout the experience and assists with spotting and identifying whales and other wildlife. We are a nonprofit organization (founded in San Francisco in 1969), and every trip supports ocean research and conservation. Join us on a whale watching tour for some of the best marine wildlife viewing in the world!
