A whale blowhole or nostrils have values that close when the whale dives. When it resurfaces, the water that has collected on top of the blowholes gets blown into the air when it takes another breath.

This ocean voyage gives you an opportunity to see the largest animal to ever live on the earth, the blue whale. Blue whales can range up to about 90 feet in length and weigh almost 190 tons. Their body’s are various shades of bluish-grey, and have markings unique to each animal. The Harbor Breeze Cruise doesn’t guarantee that you will see whales, but when you do it’s exciting. Scientists from Long Beach’s Aquarium of the Pacific are on board to explain most anything that you want to know about these magnificent sea creatures. An added bonus is the Whales: A Journey with Giants (a large screen, multimedia presentation), and the interactive kiosk Whales: Voices in the Sea.
