Curious humpback whales visit whale watching tour in Monterey Bay. >>Watch the video above to see the whales.
Advertisement According to Randy Straka, a photographer with Princess Monterey Whale Watching, the curious whales did some people watching.
"We had another exciting day on the Bay yesterday! The Humpbacks are showing up in bigger numbers over the past couple days, and we had a great sighting. A pair of friendly Humpback whales got curious about our boat and did some people watching for about a half hour on our 12:30 p.m. trip aboard the Atlantis Monterey on 4/15/21," wrote Straka to KSBW.

I miss going to that hotel on Sand City for happy hour on Sundays and watching the whales and dolphins as the sun sets
Always beautiful

Uh - do they ‘chum’ the waters to induce these visits?

Probably curious. You can see one near the beginning bring the head up and roll to bring an eye out of the water for a better look.
There's a sperm whale in the Caribbean I think who has a routine with divers where they make a certain sound and he comes up to let them rub his tummy. He has learned not to click too loudly lest he deafen or injure the divers.
