whale watching (Oceanside, Newport Beach, Dana Point: prices, beach, island)

[konp]

hi everyone, Dana Whafr Whale watching ($29), Newport landing wale watching ($25), and Captain Dave's Dlphin safari ($49), Davey's Locker Whhale watching ($25) have different prices. Besides the length of time for each trip, are there other differences? i.e. better sight seeing. plus, which one would you recommend?

I am planning to go in April (close to the end of the whale watch season) , but my concern is that I will not see anything.

You will see dolphins (porpoises)which are technically whales and therefore satisfy the guarantee. You might see a couple of large whales if you are lucky.

we went out of Both Newport Beach locations, one in (I forget I think it was Dana Point), one from Oceanside, and twice from Long beach. They were all pretty much the same. we once saw some flying fish going out of Long beach. It was really neat.

If you go to the channel islands from Ventura you will see a lot of great marine life. that is a far better trip.

You'll get more whales for your wallet--I went through them---PHENOMENAL!
You will see a lot--including sea lions on the bouis.
Have a blast
