Our three-hour whale watching tours are always a family favorite! We’ll meet at the dock and have a safety lesson on the Papa Duck, a 60-foot Hatteras sport fishing boat and our vessel for the day. We’ll tour Newport Harbor and talk about the sea and all its creatures as we get ready to venture out on the Pacific Ocean.
As we exit the harbor, we’ll wave goodbye to California Sea Lions on the rocks and buoys, then head out towards the whales, dolphins... and who knows what else!
Our whale population off Newport varies by season. In the winter, we have Gray and Fin Whales, and during summer we have both Blue and Humpback Whales just offshore. Dolphins are here year round and always fun to watch jump.
Please be sure to take and bring your seasickness medications if you are prone to seasickness.
