What Is The Best Time Of Year For Whale Watching?

According to the Condor Express website, "The Santa Barbara Channel is home to over 27 different species of whales and dolphins that visit throughout the year, and it's the prime northern feeding grounds for blue whales and humpback whales from May through November."
