Overview

Welcome to East Meets West Whale Watching with Capt. Nick - Enjoy the Ultimate Whale and Dolphin Watching tour in Newport Beach, CA.

Get ready for an intimate experience with some of nature’s most fantastic wildlife. Aboard Newport Beach's most advanced whale and dolphin watching vessel, we limit our trips to 6 passenger(s) per boat which allows us to provide the Personal Attention and Comfort you deserve. Our new boats are extremely quiet, enabling us to stealthily approach and bring you a front-row seat to these spectacular mammals without disturbing them in their natural habitat.

Departing from beautiful Balboa Island in Newport Beach, you will explore the wildlife-rich waters of Orange County, a superhighway for whales and dolphins year-round. See whales and dolphins in their natural migratory path. Creating lifetime memories, one trip at a time!
