Oregon Coast Trip 2015: Our Incredible Whale Watching Expedition!

This was my FAVORITE part of the trip and that is saying something as this trip was absolutely AMAZING! We had such an AMAZING whale watching adventure! We saw a Humpback Whale and then three Gray Whales that were super close to our boat! These pictures do not do justice to what it was like to experience this, but I am glad I got a few to remember this incredible adventure by.

They got SO close to the boat that even the tour guides got excited about it and said it is very rare to see them so up close and personal, and active! They were even playing and overlapping one another as they came up out of the water. Too bad I got so excited and busy watching in astonishment that I missed the photo op, but taking that moment in was worth it and something that I will never forget.

They got so close that you could see the spots on their backs. The photo on the right is of the tail as it was going back under the water. It seemed way closer and bigger and better in person!

The two Gray Whales followed the boat for quite a ways as we were on our way back to the docks. It was so cool watching them follow us, and getting to enjoy them as long as possible.
