Southern California Whale Watching Trips
Newport Landing's Southern California whale-watching tours are offered year round, providing groups with chances to see an array of different whales and dolphins. The prime Grey Whale Migration period is December through April, and Newport Harbor is ideally positioned within minutes of the migratory route, allowing the company to take full advantage of the sights without imposing on the whales' path. May through November, warmer waters welcome majestic blue whales, finback whales and killer whales. Additionally, seals, sharks, sea lions, thousands of dolphins and other marine creatures grace these Southern California waters. Due to the abundance of marine life year-round, it is seemingly impossible to coast out onto the ocean and risk not seeing anything (96% success rate viewing whales and/or dolphin). The whales spotted each year number in the hundreds, and the dolphin count exceeds hundreds of thousands.
