Whale Watching San Diego Visitors $12 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.

For whale watchers intending to stay in San Diego be sure to visit Sea World, the Cabrillo National Monument, and the Birch Aquare at Scripts. We’ve also provided below the addresses of recommended hotels and attractions for your convenience.
