Newport Landing

Los Angeles Whale Watching is for locals and travelers who are interested in going whale watching. Newport Landing provides year-round, daily cruises just south west, departing from beautiful Newport Beach. With its preserved coast as well as an underwater canyon just off shore, Newport Bay is home to a wide range of species year-round and hosts a number of migratory species throughout the year. This makes Newport one of the most successful whale watching areas in the United States.

Through the summer as well as fall, Blue, Minke, and Finback Whales will likely end up being seen off shore. For the duration of the rest of the year, Southern California waters host Gray Whales as they migrate to feed and have young. Newport Landing additionally gets the opportunity to see Southern California resident Common Dolphins as well as Bottlenose Dolphins, Risso’s Dolphins, and California Sea Lions.

Newport Landing’s primary whale watching boat was intended exclusively for whale watching and has comfortable seating, an upper-level observation area, and a spacious, indoor salon with a snack and drink bar. Our businesses captains have many years of experience seeking dolphins and whales and we have a jaw-dropping 96% success rate of locating cetaceans on our trips. Thank you for browsing and we look forward to having you with us!
