Whale Watching San Diego Visitors $13 Special

Information for San Diego Residents and Visitors

Davey’s Locker is a popular destination for San Diego Whale Watching visitors. Just a one hour drive from San Diego to Newport Bay, Davey’s Locker has provided daily Whale Watching tours year round for more than three decades. Our record speaks for itself – with a 96% viewing success rate it’s a rare occurrence that we do not spot a whale during our whale watching excursion. In fact, Davey’s Locker holds one of the highest marine mammal sighting rates in beautiful Southern California. The reason for our amazing track record is the 13 mile long Marine Protection Park located just outside Newport Bay; the protection that the park provides has created one of the richest marine ecosystems in the West Coast and features a diverse array of marine species, including many species of whale and dolphin. >> Check out the Whale Watching Cruise Times & Pricing Info.

Davey’s Locker Offers Daily Departures Year Round

Our Whale cruises operate year round but feature different species of wildlife depending on the season. The summer and fall months will feature the majestic Blue Whale, the largest mammal on earth. Finback whales will also be on full display during these summer and fall months. In the winter and spring you’ll be able catch magnificent Gray Whales going through their annual migration to breed in the lagoons of Baja California. Our Southern California whale watching tour is one of the few places that offer whale watching everyday, year round.

The Ocean Explorer is our main whale watching ship, and this seafaring beauty is 65 feet in length. It has both comfortable indoor and outdoor seating as well as an upper level observation deck. Don’t leave your camera at home as our 96% view rate means you’re likely to capture some very special moments from a variety of angles on The Ocean Explorer. Our ship also has food and refreshments available via our snack bar and we encourage you to enjoy some of our fine burgers fresh off the grill. Our crew has over thirty years of combined experience and are trained to not only educate but to entertain our whale watching audience. We look forward to sharing this wonderful whale watching experience with you while keeping you safe and comfortable on The Ocean Explorer.
