Dana Wharf Whalewatching
Our year-round whale watching cruises get our guests up close to watch these magnificent ocean creatures play in our coastal waters. Nov-April we go out looking for the California Grey Whale and May-Oct we go out looking for the magnificent Blue Whale. You'll also get the opportunity to see pods of dolphin (which sometimes number in the thousands) and sea lions. Come witness a variety of ocean mammals in their natural environments. Dana Point is ideally located and is said to be a reference landmark for the Whales by many ocean naturalists. Our captains are very experienced, and will educate you on the whales and dolphins.

Newport Landing Whale Watching-Newport Beach/Newport Harbor

Newport Landing offers California Gray Whale watching cruises twice daily Monday thru Friday and three trips total on Saturdays and Sundays. Since the Gray Whale can be readily found within a few miles off the coast, a simple cruise of a few hours lets thousands of people view not only the whales in their natural habitat, but also many species of resident marine animals, such as common Dolphin, Bottlenose Dolphin, Sea Lions, Marine Birds and occassionaly Killer Whales and Sharks.

Sightings are Guaranteed: You will get a free trip if we do not see whales or dolphin!
