SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — There were several rare sights along the San Diego coast this week for those onboard Wild Pacific Whale Watch’s boat.

A minke whale breached, launching itself about 20 times out of the water.

The experts at the whale tour operating company say this is an extremely rare sight to see as these types of whales are typically really shy.

There’s also been a few adult gray whale sightings this week, which is not typical for this time of the year, according to Wild Pacific Whale Watch.
