Whale and Dolphin Watching Adventure Tour

A Dolphin & Whale Watching Adventure like no other!

Known as a landmark for marine life sightings, Dana Wharf’s Whale and Dolphin Watching Adventure Tours offer rare glimpses into a huge variety of underwater wildlife and gorgeous scenic views you’ll never forget.

Seasonally, we see over 1,500 gray whales, and in the summer we see blue whales. Year-round we see fin whales, Minke whales, humpback whales, and even sharks. Every trip is a new experience, so be sure to come out often! Whale watching season is year-round, marine mammal sightings are guaranteed, meaning that if you do not see a whale OR a dolphin, we’ll give you a voucher for a free trip that never expires!

All of our Orange County whale watching cruises are narrated by our expert marine naturalist captains who educate you on the abundant ocean life on our coast. Trips are all two hours long, offering plenty of time to discover the world that lies beneath!

GUARANTEED MARINE MAMMAL SIGHTINGS – If you don’t see a good showing of marine mammals (whale or dolphins), get a free Marine Mammal Rain Check to come back for another trip!
