Harbor Breeze Cruises

"Loved it!! Saw a few dolphins, and it was wonderful. They were jumping in and out of the water just having fun, just being so cute! The view from the boat is so serene and beautiful."

"Had an awesome time, saw hundreds of dolphins, a juvenile gray whale, and a couple of fin whales. Totally worth it, will definitely do it again if we end up in Long Beach with time. Wish I come upload the video, we got the gray whale breaching. So cool to see."

"We decided to do the whale tour and spent most of the time listening to random facts and taking in the views. We could finally see two whales at different intervals for a few minutes and a group of sea lions. The boat was nice, and the crew was friendly. Please keep in mind that there are risks with these adventures as whales are unpredictable, and there is no guarantee they will show themselves. We were lucky we saw two."

"The whale watching experience offered by Harbor Breeze Cruises is definitely worth exploring if you love the ocean and its residents. The cruise starts from Long Beach and is for approximately 2 hours or slightly more. The ship is nice and spacious with facilities to watch from inside or on the deck. Although there is no guarantee that one will be able to sight whales, I’ve been lucky on both instances when I took this trip. In addition there are lots of baby dolphins that swim along the ship. The tour guides are friendly and very knowledgeable. The tickets are very reasonable and weekday rates are even lower when you book in advance. It truly is remarkable- this Aquarium of the Pacific and not be missed."

"Amazing late afternoon outing with the kids. Cynthia, tship naturalists/guide, made the trip informative and enjoyable She was attentive/courteous with passengers marine questions. We went on a 2.5 hours tour or about 15 miles out. You can see Catalina island growing up the horizon. Catalina island grew bigger and bigger as we motor our west. I need to work on my flat earth theory of this phenomenon. We were hoping see whales but nothing on this trip. Bummer. We saw large pods of dolphins as the boat arrived at the ocean canyon. Ocean canyon is a feeding grounds off the coast. Rich in plankton and fish. Dolphins were playfully swimming around the boat, curious at our very presence. Very exciting to see the dolphins swimming/jumping on the boat wake. Dress in layers and bring a beanie. Saw a few people getting sea sick. Water is very choppy once boat pass the breaker and hit open water. You need to break in them sea legs. We departed at 330 pm and arrive back at 6pm. Amazing view of the sunset in open water on the way home. As we head back we can see the colorful twinkle of lights growing brighter at the Long Beach marina. Perfect ending of the day. I will definitely be back next season."
