While traveling through Oregon in at the end of September 2022, we were still researching cool things to do. An article on the internet stated that September was a great month to see gray whales in Depoe Bay, Oregon. So, by the seat of our pants, we called Whale’s Tail Charters, LLC to see if they were seeing gray whales and if we could book a couple of seats on a charter.
We could not believe our luck! Yes, they were seeing gray whales, and yes, they had a couple of openings in a few days. Wow! The GoPro does not do justice to how close the whales were. On our way to Depoe Bay, we stopped at the Devil’s Punchbowl. We knew it was going to be a great whale day when we saw so many of them spouting at this location.
The charter at Whale’s Tail was well worth the cost. Whale’s Tail Charters has smaller boats with only 6 passengers and a captain. It was amazing to see the whales rise to the surface and blow. And, of course, seeing the tail at the end just blew us away. The captain was very knowledgeable and could even identify individual whales. We saw one whale come to the surface with his mouth open! If you are in Oregon in September, book a small charter and be astounded at these beautiful amazing creatures! You will never want the day to end.
