LA Waterfront Cruises offers luxury, eco-friendly whale watching on some of the newest and most advanced vessels in the area. These custom-built catamarans feature stadium seating for exceptional ocean views and run on ultra-quiet, low-emission engines that minimize disruption to whales and their habitats.

From December to May, tours often spot migrating gray whales, while blue whales—Earth’s largest animals—are typically seen June through November. You might also encounter orcas, humpbacks, minkes, and fin whales year-round. Each trip is guided by a marine mammal expert from the Aquarium of the Pacific, making the experience both thrilling and educational for all ages.

Please note: This experience includes a Sea Life Guarantee. While whale and dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed due to the unpredictable nature of wildlife, your expert Captains and Aquarium of the Pacific Docents work hard to maximize every opportunity. If no sea life is spotted during your cruise, you’ll receive a Return Voucher to join this tour again for free!
