The experience

Go on an exciting marine wildlife expedition aboard a 65-foot vessel

Set sail on a 65-foot (20-meter) vessel for an exciting whale-watching adventure off the Orange County coast. An onboard naturalist will share fascinating insights into the local sea life against the scenic backdrop of Newport Beach and Laguna Beach.

Spot a wide range of whales like the blue, finback, grey, minke, and humpback, along with over half a dozen species of dolphins, including Risso's dolphin, white-sided dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, and common dolphin. Keep an eye out for super pods of dolphins, sometimes numbering over 1000.

The voyage also offers the chance to see harbor seals, sea lions, various species of sharks, and more.
