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.

Bottle nose dolphin. Whales would have been great but we saw so much other wild life it was enjoyable

We had a wonderful time on our Zodiac adventure! Captain Gary was just the best! He was knowledgeable, fun, loved to share information, and made us feel safe and secure. I haven't had this much fun in a very long time. We lucked out and saw a nursery pod, hundreds of dolphins, and a dolphin stampede. Captian Gary was excellent at sharing details of what we were seeing and experiencing.

It’s wonderful that you had fun and felt safe aboard our high-speed zodiac-style vessel as you witnessed a breathtaking dolphin stampede! Thanks for the kind words about our Captain. We hope you can join us again soon!
