Nature watch cruise in San diego

The unforgettable experience

Woohoo... it's the season for whale watching in San Diego. I decided to go on a nature cruise by San Diego harbor excursion. It's a six hour guided tour of  Islas Los Coronados and dead man's island where we get a chance to watch whales, dolphins, harbor seals, sea lions, orcas, sea gulls and herons in the mexican waters. I got  excited when they started boarding on Bright morning star at around 10am. We got seated comfortably on the top deck of the boat.  We had fun watching the schools of  Dolphins chasing the boat. We saw two humpback whales and the sightings were just for a few seconds and it was very disappointing. We  visited the luscious green  dead man's island. We saw many Sea lions and Seals basking in the sun. The water around the island is clear blue in color. The blue water hitting the island looks very beautiful  and its an unforgettable scene. Our next stop is Bird rock island where we saw many species of birds. The  white coloured rocks in the island were covered with feces of the birds.







On the way  back to San Diego, we walked around the cockpit and  talked with the Captain of the ship. It's a very wonderful day at the sea.
