SAN DIEGO (CNN/KFMB) - Passengers aboard a whale-watching tour boat are leaving their experience with a whale of a tale.

A pod of about 20- to 25 gray whales appeared just off the coast of San Diego last week.

A couple visiting from Oklahoma City took these amazing photos of the gentle giants of the sea.

The Birch Aquarium executive director said it's normal to see a lot of whales around this time of year.
