Hi! Looking to go whale watching in late June. Ideally I would love to see blue whales, I understand they're more difficult to find. Is there any place in California best to see them that time of year? My top two places I've seen are either San Diego or Monterey Bay, but I'd be willing to go anywhere in the state.

Also, bonus points if you can recommend a set tour to go on. It will just be me and one other person, would prefer to spend less than $200 a person. I imagine smaller tours are better but unsure what a typical budget is. If anyone has any advice/recommendations I would appreciate it!
