We had a great weekend on the water with Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, and hundreds of Common Dolphins! This weekend there was also a BLUE whale sighting near Newport Beach by @newportcoastaladventure !! It is just the beginning of our Blue Whale season and we hope to see more of the world’s largest animal! *Enjoy this underwater moment of some bow riding dolphins filmed aboard our Ultimate Adventure. Don’t forget to bring your own gopro aboard our zodiac-style boat for the chance to film some amazing footage! June 28, 2020 Read More
This playful humpback whale delighted passengers on the Legacy this morning, breaching multiple times only 100ft from the boat! Thanks to @seataceans for the photo! If you look closely, he’s even got some kelp on his face! We’ve seen this happy whale several times in the last week in Newport Beach.Now is a great time to come whale watching, as we’ve had fantastic sightings and great weather.

Who is ready for the weekend? The sun came out today and the dolphins celebrated! Sightings today included both short and long beaked common dolphins, Risso’s dolphins and multiple friendly minke whales! We hope to see you out on the water tomorrow!

Minke whales may be the smallest of the “great whales” (fin, blue, etc), but what they lack in size they make up for with personality! Their vocalizations sound more like “boings” and they are curious by nature often coming by to have a closer look at our vessels. Have you seen a minke whale?

Passengers aboard the Newport Legacy got a special surprise at sunset today when a minke whale breached over and over! Photographer @seataceans was quick to get the shot! We still have humpbacks and minke whales in our area and have been enjoying more incredible encounters! Come enjoy an afternoon on the water. We are still running with limited capacities on all of our boats, allowing more space for you to view wildlife in comfort! June 24, 2020 Read More
Calling all dolphin lovers! There have been hundreds of common dolphins in our waters feasting on abundant fish! Whales in our area benefit from the dolphins’ coordinated efforts to school fish together. Both minke whales and a humpback whale were seen with the dolphins today! @goodnewsangie aboard the Ocean Explorer. June 23, 2020 Read More
Minke Whales are quick and sleek travelers! They have been seen recently in our waters hunting schools of anchovy! Keep a sharp eye out because these whales are fast and efficient swimmers! This beautiful video was filmed by our photographer, Delaney @seataceans aboard the Newport Legacy this morning. June 21, 2020 Read More
Look at these two brand new baby Offshore Bottlenose Dolphins! They are SO tiny yet have no problem keeping up with their moms! Filmed by Kristin Campbell June 20, 2020 Read More
Twitch greeted us today with enthusiasm! Multiple humpbacks were again in the area in addition to bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, minke whales, Risso dolphins, and more! We are looking forward to a great weekend! See you on the water! Photo by @seataceans June 19, 2020 Read More
Waving hello! Today there were MULTIPLE humpback whales off of Newport Beach including some familiar faces, like Twitch! We saw a lot of behaviors including tail throws, breaching, pec slaps (pictured here), kelping, and mugging! These humpback whales have been sticking around and we can’t wait to see what they’ll do next! Space is limited and trips are filling up so book soon for the weekend!
