High Speed Zodiac Whale Watching Safari from Dana Point

High Speed Zodiac Whale Watching Safari from Dana Point

Overview

A fast and fun wildlife adventure awaits your family aboard our zodiac-style vessels (rigid inflatable boats). This cruise of up to 20 passengers gives you a thrilling 2-hour look at Southern California’s year-round whales and dolphins. With speeds of 30 knots or more, you’ll spend less time looking for animals and more time enjoying them! Your zodiac adventure will have you incredibly close to the ocean’s surface and within arm’s reach of wildlife. At the conclusion of your cruise, you'll receive one of Mrs. Capt. Dave's famously delicious Triple Fudge Brownies. (Some folks love the brownies more than the whales!)

We are a certified Responsible Whale Watching partner with the World Cetacean Alliance located in Dana Point, CA, the Dolphin and Whale Capital of the World®, and the first Whale Heritage Site in the Americas.

Captain Gary was great and was able to provide a lot of information on the wildlife we saw. We were able to get to the dolphins quickly and thoroughly enjoyed watching them

Most amazing viewing of dolphins ever - over 300 for 20". A lifetime memory. I am so lucky to have experienced it with my son.

The captain and the guide were extraordinary friendly and very experienced! We felt all the time safety and had seen a lot of dolphins. A better and friendly choice instead of „Sea World“ where these animals are caught into a cage….

Hi Felix, thanks for taking the time to let us know that you had a 5-star dolphin and whale watching trip with us recently! I’m so pleased that you found our staff to be so friendly, and that they helped you view the playful wild dolphins up close. I hope you can come out for another adventure soon!
