OCEANSIDE, CA — Oceanside Adventures recently captured an incredible video of gray whales off the coast of Oceanside on one of their aptly named whale-watching cruises.

It's time for the annual Gray Whale Migration and a recent group of Oceanside Adventures passengers was fortunate to get up close to a northbound gray whale passing by Oceanside on the way back up to their feeding grounds off the coast of Alaska.

Oceanside Adventures offers year-round whale and dolphin tours. Currently, the gray whales are migrating from December through April. We also see Fin whales and minke whales year-round. In summertime, we see the humpbacks and blue whales and we have 4 species of dolphins, so there is always something to see no matter what time of the year you go.
