It was another beautiful, clear day, here at Hike Bike kayak in La Jolla. One of our expert naturalist guides, Ezekiel, stood high upon a bluff edge of the Torrey Pines State Reserve with a charming, active couple from Houston, Texas. Astonished by the gorgeous stretch of pristine beaches, the couple inquired about whale sightings from up on the bluffs. Upon giving a reply, Ezekiel spotted a pod of gray whales spouting a mile off-shore. All three were ecstatic! The very first whale sighting of the season, and from a guided hike in the bluff's trails nonetheless!
"It is quite amazing that not only up close by kayak, but from a bike, and certainly a hike, you can spot the gray whales on their long migration from the waters of Alaska down to Baja, California."
The couple left La Jolla, with a memory for a lifetime. The tour guide, Ezekiel, always humbled by nature, was happy as ever that the whales have arrived for another year of memorable sightings.
