If you want to check out whales in their natural habitat then Newport Landing Whale Watching is for you. The trips leave from Newport Beach daily and there are various whale watching departure times to choose from. It only takes a few minutes from Los Angeles to reach the departure site in Orange County. With tours being offered year round you should have no problem finding a time to see the whales.
The best time to see the Grey Whale is when it is migrating during the months of December through April. Since the Newport Harbor is so close to Laguna Beach, where hundreds of Grey Whales pass during their migration, it is easy to plan a time where you will surely see lots of whales.
Each cruise is narrated by crew members and they will be able to ask any question you may have about the tour, the marine animals you see, or more. Make sure to bring your camera because there are photo opportunities that you surely won’t want to miss! Prices depend on whether it is for an individual or a group, but are regularly $30 for adults. There are three trips per day October through May and five trips per day June through September so be sure to find a date that works for you! Tours last about 2.5 to 3 hours.
