Whale Watching

Groupon gives you a good reason to go on adventures for less than retail. One such adventure I decided I needed to experience is whale watching. Last Saturday morning, my boyfriend and I went to the beach at Malibu and embarked on a somewhat rickety boat. We headed out into the beautiful blue ocean, eyes wide open to catch any sight of a whale breaching the surface.

An hour later, my eyes were dry from being so peeled. No whales in sight. At all. For the whole two and a half hours. We did see some sea lions frolicking, though, and that was pretty cute.

I think the whole experience could have been improved if they added some new elements to the boat ride, rather than just sitting in relative silence, staring out at the ocean. A tour guide to impart some knowledge of the ocean in general, and the Pacific Coast in particular, would have been nice. Some more information about the homes we passed on the beach would have been cool, too. The tour we had was still pretty cool, and a new adventure to add to my list of experiences.
