Endangered humpback whales are making cameos in the Bay one after the next, but, despite their presence, local whale tours are struggling to operate.

"This year has been excellent in whale sightings," said Captain Joe Nazar of San Francisco Whale Tours.

Nazar doesn't have to navigate his boat Kitty Kat very far from Pier 39 these days to find the gentle giants. Whale tours are spotting plenty of humpbacks near the Golden Gate Bridge.
