Los Angeles Experience Gifts: See whales and dolphins in their natural habitat on the biggest small boat experience in California.
Take a seat for one of nature’s greatest spectacles with this incredible whale and dolphin watching boat trip. You’ll be heading out with a small group, on a brand-new rib. It’s custom-built with a low to the water design to allow for a ‘so close you can almost touch’ experience. Your vessel hits speeds of 30mph, which means you’ll get to the best whale-watching spots super-fast, giving the trip one of the best success rates and highest viewing times of any whale-watching trip in Southern California. Watch majestic whales breaching and playful dolphins frolicking right by the boat, with uninterrupted views of all the action – it's an experience you’ll never forget.
This whale and dolphin watching trip would make a memorable experience gift for animal lovers.
Check Availability & Book
The Shearwater is custom designed to offer key advantages over any other type of boat in its class. Taking out small groups at a time means no crowding, giving each passenger a piece of the action. And the open design offers a 360-degree view from anywhere onboard, allowing everyone a close encounter. Here are a few of the reasons why we call this the "Ultimate Whale Watching Adventure":
- Brand new 2018 Super RIB, custom built just for whale watching.
- Unique low-to-water design means dolphins so close you can almost touch!
- A faster speed (30 miles per hour) means twice the action in our 2 hour trip. Our ability to get you to the whales and dolphin quickly and to travel up to 14 miles from port ensures the highest success rate and maximum viewing times of any whale watching boat in Southern California.
- Each passenger gets their own seat. There’s no struggle to fight for viewing. The whole boat is the “good side” of the boat
- Highest Rated Whale Watch in Southern California
Special requirements and limitations:
Due to the size and speed of this vessel we cannot permit children under 5 years of age, passengers that are pregnant, disabled, or are at risk for neck or back complications. If any of these restrictions apply to someone in your party we suggest making reservations on one of our larger general admission vessels. There are no restrooms aboard the boat, so please plan to use one before the trip.
Please note: The 36’ SuperRib requires a minimum passenger count of 6 people per trip to operate. You may be placed on a 25' version of the same boat if the minimum passenger threshold is not reached by the time of our departure.
Changes to reservations for tickets can be made until 2 days prior to the date scheduled. Reservations may be re-scheduled by the operator of the activity due to reasons such as weather, minimum participation requirements, mechanical issues or other interruptions beyond their control.

Newport Coastal Adventure
With fast, fun, and safe military-style Zodiac inflatable boats, we take up to 15 passengers on a semi-private or private 2 hour excursion that is sure to be a highlight of your year. Our boats are twice as fast as the competition, allowing us to give you an experience unlike any other offered in Orange County. Newport Coastal Adventure’s trips combine whale watching and a coastal tour. And because of the light load, passengers receive the personalized attention of the captain to answer their questions or accommodate requests. Our 24′ boats, with their air-filled pontoons, makes interacting with dolphins and whales a comfortable and close up experience. Leaning over the side of the boat, you can almost touch the dolphins as they playfully ride our bow wake. And because our engines are quiet four-strokes, we don’t annoy the whales with loud noise, enabling them to get comfortable with our presence. The waters off of Newport Beach are productive for viewing Gray, Blue, Fin, Humpback, and Minke whales as well as Common dolphin, Bottlenose dolphin, and Pacific White-Sided dolphin, depending on the season!
