Family and Private Group Whale and Dolphin Watching

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.

9-3-2024 We had a great 2h boat trip with Captain Will. We saw tons of dolphins, multiple pods of varying sizes. The larger ones were probably in the hundreds. Various birds (pelicans, gulls, etc.) joined the dolphins hunting schools of fish. The time (9:30-11:30am), was very nice: marine layer first with very little wind. About an hour into the tour the sun came out. We also saw a couple big Mola mola (ocean sunfish). Unfortunately, no whales this time. Captain will was friendly, helpful and tried to show us as much as possible. Our group of 6 loved it and had a great time.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! You can't always predict wildlife, but Captain Will paid attention to nature's cues- weather, birds, and even other captains- to give us the highest possibility of a great morning. A pod dolphins were feeding, a minke whale, and two fin whales were active popping up all around us. After some of the other whale watching vessels left the area, it was almost like the fin whale duo started interacting with our small boat. It was unbelievable. When it was time for us to head in, they passed under our boat and one even rolled over on to his back and we could see the white belly. It was unbelievable. I would definitely book again.
