Get to Know Our Ocean Neighbors

See Southern California Wildlife

Our goal is to provide a fun and informative trip for every passenger that joins us on one of our exciting whale watching cruises. We have experienced captains and crew members who enjoy marine life and love helping our guests. The Gray Whale migration past our coast is typically December through April/May. Blue Whale season is typically during the summer months of June through October/November. We are also fortunate to see other types of whales that do not have a season but are seen on our trips throughout the year; Killer Whales(Orcas), Humpback Whales, Fin Whales. We also see playful Common and Bottlenose Dolphins throughout the year along with Marine Birds.
