What you can expect

Head out on a whale and dolphin-watching cruise from Newport Beach. The waters surrounding Newport Harbour offer deep nutrient-rich waters that attract all types of marine creatures. With a 96% success rate, almost every trip has the opportunity to see whales or dolphins.
Look out for giant blue whales (during the summer and fall months), finback whales, grey whales (winter and spring months), minke whales, humpback whales, several types of dolphin (including giant rizzo dolphin over 14 feet in length), seals, and all sorts of other marine life.

Most whale-watching cruises take in the scenic backdrops of Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach while viewing the gentle giants just a few hundred yards from shore. Due to the geography of the Orange County coastline that surrounds Newport Harbour, ocean conditions are incredibly calm.
The captain and crew have backgrounds in marine biology and can provide details about the marine creatures, environment, and ecosystems.
