Newport Landing Whale Watching 309 Palm Street, Newport Beach, CA 92661

"We booked the luxury wheel, watching on a catamaran. What an amazing experience! For adults, and three children in our party, and everyone had a blast. Our captain and naturalist were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more fun. Their enthusiasm for what they do was obvious and they cared that we saw as many whales and dolphins as possible. We had multiple sightings and even got to see whales breaching out of water and a huge pod of dolphins playing and swimming with the boat! Definitely go! It’s a great trip!"

"We had such an amazing tour on Monday 3/11 where we saw 2 gray whales, dolphins, and sea lions. The gray whales breached 3x (first video should be 2 of the 3 breaches), played with the dolphins and sea lions, and even came near the boat to see us. Truly magical moments made and felt like we were watching a Nat Geo special in real time and real life."

"We had an amazing time with Captain Larry. He is very knowledgeable about the marine life and showed us some large pods of dolphins. Everyone on the boat was amazed when we got to witness a dolphin stampede!!! Best whale watching experience we have ever had!!!"

"This was a fantastic experience. We attended as a Girl Scout event. While we didn’t see any whales, we did see sea lions and dolphins. The crew was very professional and helpful. The captain gave us great info over the speakers. Great snacks on board for kids and adults. We will definitely go again. The legacy was great."

"I’ve been bringing school groups the last three years, and this year was extra special. Went out on the Nautilus at noon today (Saturday, February 24) and we saw several Fin Whales and sea lions. Jenna was on board as our marine educator and showed us lots of fun things like whale poop, baleen, a sea lion skull and fire, and more! Thanks to the captain and his co-captains for a memorable ride!"
