Newport Beach: Year-Round Whale and Dolphin Cruises
About this experience
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.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
