Overview

The Newport Beach 2-Hour Whale and Dolphin Watching Boat Cruise departs from Newport Landing in Newport Beach, California. The boat travels just outside Newport Bay to a marine protected area that covers more than 15 miles. This area serves as a sanctuary for a variety of marine mammals, including blue whales over 90 feet long, humpback whales, gray whales, finback whales, several dolphin species, seals, and other marine life. The cruise lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours, offering ample time to observe these animals in their natural habitat. The tour takes place on a brand-new double-decker catamaran with bow seating and upper and lower decks providing 360-degree views. Multiple departures are available daily. Landing and facility fees are included in the price. Food, drinks, alcoholic beverages, and souvenir photos are not included but can be purchased onboard. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum drinking age is 21 years. The cruise operates in all weather conditions, and bookings are limited to 20 people per group.
