Book on Viator Confirmed right away, but you pay full price.$138This Newport Beach luxury whale watching cruise takes place on a 50-foot catamaran yacht designed for fewer people, providing a spacious and comfortable setting. The cruise lasts between two and three hours and offers extra speed to cover more area in search of marine mammals. Guests board after checking in at Davey's Locker near the Balboa Fun Zone about 30 minutes before departure, where they receive boarding passes and are guided by expert staff to the yacht. The yacht features a 360-degree walk-around deck that allows for panoramic views from nearly any vantage point. One popular area is the bow, where dolphins often swim just below the dual bows, close enough to be seen clearly. The cruise focuses on watching wildlife such as giant blue whales, humpback whales, and large pods of dolphins. Landing and facility fees are included in the cruise price. Alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, snacks, binoculars, and parking are not included. Parking is available at the Balboa Pier Municipal Lot and other public lots, with recommended arrival at least one hour early during busy summer months due to limited parking. Seasonal trolley service on the Balboa Peninsula is available but not year-round; details can be found on the City of Newport Beach website.
