Book on Viator Confirmed right away, but you pay full price.$211.98This dolphin and whale watching boat trip lasts about two and a half hours departing from Dana Point, known as the Dolphin and Whale Capital of the World®. The tour takes place on a high-tech catamaran that is U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified. Passengers can watch for Blue Whales, Gray Whales, Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, Minke Whales, and occasionally Orcas, along with five species of wild dolphins. The tour also offers chances to see sea lions, marine birds, and sharks. The boat features exclusive Underwater Viewing Pods on the Manute'a vessel, allowing guests to observe marine life below the surface via ladder access. A licensed captain and professional crew operate the trip, providing live commentary throughout. Guests receive complimentary triple fudge brownies during the outing. If no dolphins or whales are spotted, a free repeat trip within one calendar year is offered under the Cetacean Declaration. Food, drinks, tips, DVDs, and souvenir photos are not included. The trip runs in all weather conditions, so appropriate clothing is recommended. Times may vary depending on the date. The Underwater Viewing Pods require climbing ladder-like steps, which may be difficult for people with disabilities or limited mobility. The boat used for the trip may change without notice, and such changes do not qualify for cancellations or refunds.
