Davey’s Locker Offers Daily Departures Year Round
The pristine waters just outside Newport Bay offer a very healthy ecosystem which supports all types of marine life including whales and dolphin. Newport Beach is internationally recognized as one of the top whale watching destinations in the world, and yet only minutes from downtown Los Angeles and greater southern California easily accessible to the general public. Unlike many whale watching locations that charge a hundred or hundreds of dollars to view whales, it only takes a 2 ½ hour time commitment and $30 to experience these magnificent creatures. Along with our pricing and schedule for whale watching in Newport Beach, Davey’s has provided recommended hotels for those staying in Newport Beach as well as popular attractions and other activities that whale watchers might find to be a neat addition while in Newport Beach.
