Long Beach Whale & Dolphin Watching Cruise

Whale and dolphin watching in Long Beach is one of the most exciting experiences you can have on the California coast. On this 2 to 2.5 hour tour, you'll set sail from Rainbow Harbor, next to the Aquarium of the Pacific, into the waters of the Pacific and explore a marine ecosystem teeming with life.

The boat is specially designed for marine wildlife viewing and features indoor and outdoor seating, bar and restrooms, ensuring a comfortable crossing for all passengers. On board, a professional English-speaking guide and marine naturalists will help you identify species and tell you interesting facts about the behaviour of each animal.

The California coast is home to whales all year round, with species migrating seasonally: in summer you can see blue whales, while in winter the grey whales stand out on their migratory route. Common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and playful sea lions also often accompany the trip, making it an unforgettable spectacle.

Each trip is different: experienced captains know the areas of greatest activity and maximise the chances of encountering animals. This experience is perfect for both families and travellers looking to connect with the wild nature of the Pacific Ocean.
