This is an exciting site for anyone aboard a whale watching boat. Several groups of orcas, also known as killer whales, are along the California Coast. According to the California Killer Whale Project such a sight is not new because the organization says the orcas are definitely hunting.

Harbor Breeze Cruises is among several whale watching organizations spotting the marine mammals. Information to see them is available on the website: 2seewhales.com. Aquarium of the Pacific experts are on every whale watching trip.
