What Will You See?
Giant blue whales were once considered quite rare off southern California, but over the last five years this has changed dramatically with hundreds, if not thousands of giant blue whales spotted each year. These giants of the sea reach lengths of up to 90 feet and are the largest of all animals. Along with viewing these giants, the second largest whale in the world, the finback whale has also taken to the waters of southern California during the same months as the blue whales. Other varieties of whales such as humpback whales and minke whales are also often viewed during this time of year. Along with whales giant pods of common and bottlenose dolphin are also very likely with pods numbering in the hundreds or more dolphins frequently viewed. These dolphin pods come within arm’s reach as they play alongside the whale watching ship.
The Perfect Weather & Water!
Just outside of Newport Bay is the beginning of one of the largest marine protected areas in southern California created to protect this rich ecosystem for future generations. The marine sanctuary covers over 15 miles and provides a haven for all marine creatures including whales and dolphin. The marine reserve stretches along much of the Newport & Laguna Beach coastline and along with being a mecca for whale watching also offers some of the most beautiful coastline in Southern California. The geography of the Newport coastline also creates ocean conditions that are more lake like with very calm waters ideal for whale watchers to fully enjoy the amazing migration.
For Los Angeles and Orange County Whale Watching , Newport Landing Whale Watching has served Los Angeles area for over 20 years and located in one of the best whale watching environments in the world. So get out there and get to whale watchin’!
