Head out on a private boat in search of migrating whales and resident dolphin pods, guided by a marine naturalist who reads the water like a map.
What to expect
Departing Long Beach harbor, your captain and naturalist track recent sighting reports to position the boat where whales and dolphins are most active. Common finds include gray whales in season and large dolphin pods riding the bow wake. The naturalist narrates behavior and migration patterns as you go, turning the outing into a genuine marine-biology encounter.
Good to know
Best sightings December-April for gray whale migration; confirm return timing carefully as Long Beach transfer adds time versus San Pedro.
