Overview

A fast and fun wildlife adventure awaits your family aboard our zodiac-style vessels in Dana Point, CA. This cruise offers a close encounter with Southern California’s year-round whales and dolphins.

  • 🐬 Up to 20 passengers can enjoy this exhilarating 2-hour experience on rigid inflatable boats.
  • ⚡ Speeds of 30 knots or more allow for more time observing wildlife rather than searching for them.
  • 🌊 The zodiac adventure brings you incredibly close to the ocean’s surface and within arm’s reach of marine life.
  • 🍫 At the end of your cruise, enjoy one of Mrs. Capt. Dave's famous Triple Fudge Brownies (some folks love the brownies more than the whales!).
  • 🌍 We are a certified Responsible Whale Watching partner with the World Cetacean Alliance, located in the Dolphin and Whale Capital of the World®.

To keep footprints lighter, Tinggly offers instant digital delivery, a never-expiring benefit, and global options.

Your exhilarating adventure departs from Dana Point, the first Whale Heritage Site in the Americas, and the Dolphin & Whale Watching Capital of the World®. May through October you could see the largest animals on earth, magnificent Blue Whales. December through April you could witness the incredible Gray Whale migration. And throughout the year you’ll have the opportunity to see Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, Minke Whales, sometimes Orcas (Killer Whales), and so much more. Several species of wild dolphins, some in pods numbering up to 10,000, are seen year-round.

Upon arrival you’ll find free parking and a warm smile from our “Dolphin Deck” team. If you or one of your guests is celebrating a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, be sure to let us know when reserving so that we can arrange for a special greeting. Check in about 30 to 45 minutes in advance. Then relax under a blue umbrella and enjoy a sandwich, snacks, ice cream, cold beverage, or hot coffee with the best view of Dana Point Harbor, until you’re escorted to the boat. Nearby restrooms are available to use prior to boarding.
