Whale & Dolphin Watching, Small-Boat Naturalist Cruise

Track migrating whales and playful dolphin pods offshore aboard a small vessel with a marine biologist narrating every sighting.

What to expect

You depart from Long Beach on a nimble, small-capacity boat rather than a large catamaran. The onboard marine naturalist reads currents and bird activity to track whales and dolphin superpods, often getting remarkably close while respecting wildlife distance rules. Guests get unobstructed rail space and real-time explanation of behavior, not just a drive-by. Sightings vary seasonally, with gray whale migration and common dolphin megapods among the highlights.
