Condor Whale Watching

Overview:

Condor Cruises offers a variety of spectacular excursions into the Santa Barbara Channel aboard our all new high - speed catamaran the 75' CONDOR EXPRESS.

Our cruising grounds include the nutrient rich waters around Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel Islands, and is generally considered to contain the world's greatest variety of marine mammals. The Santa Barbara Channel is home to over 27 different species of whales and dolphins that visit throughout the year, and is the prime northern feeding grounds for blue whales and humpback whales from May through November.

The California gray whale herd passes by on both their Southern and Northern migration. Nearly extinct in the last century, California Gray whales now number over 25,000 animals! Come out to enjoy and celebrate their return.

Condor Cruises is the premier Whale Watching and Dinner Cruise venue on the West Coast, carrying over thirty thousand passengers per year, from all over the world.
