Capt. Dave's Dana Point Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari

Year-round boat tours take visitors from Dana Point to watch whales and dolphins, with options for different kinds of outings. The Dolphin & Whale Safari includes underwater glass viewing pods, while a zodiac-style safari uses low-to-the-water rigid-hull inflatable boats. Private charters include a captain and crew, with suggested itineraries or the option to plan a custom trip. For a smaller-group outing, Whale Geek Cetacean Exploration offers a 3.5-hour cruise on an upscale motor yacht with six passengers. Educational whale-watching field trips are also available. The business specializes in marine wildlife viewing, including whale and dolphin encounters, and operates in Dana Point, California.
