Overview

Hop on board our new super fast RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). It's an exhilarating ride out to wherever the mammals are! We will cruise the majestic California coastline in search of pods of dolphins and migrating whales.  Get up close and personal with these ocean mammals in their natural environment with chances of seeing other animals such as sea lions, sharks, sunfish and on rare occasions, Orcas!  Learn about their behaviors, environment and ecology.  Many times we see them feeding, mating and interacting for those 'National Geographic' moments!  d

This is a three hour tour and is either a private or semi-private experience as there are only six spots per trip.  For PRIVATE groups the price will be $800 for the boat and no one else but your group will be on the trip. Water and simple snacks are available.  Feel free to bring your own beverages (alcohol is permitted) and food.

Q: Will I get seasick on Family and Private Group Whale and Dolphin Watching?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
