OCEAN ADVENTURE SEASON IS HERE
The Blue Whales have arrived!
From May through mid November, get up close and watch these magnificent
ocean creatures play in our coastal waters. Narrated by our expert captains,
this cruise provides the opportunity to witness a variety of ocean mammals
in their natural environments.
This is the season for blue whales. Every trip is a new experience, so
be sure to come out often! Blue Whales do not follow a migration pattern,
therefore, we do not offer guaranteed sightings like we do during the
Gray Whale migration November - April, but we will give you a $10.00 off
coupon if no Whales or Dolphin or seen coupon will be given on boat!

Whale Watching Review
5/26 Ocean Adventure Customer- "Shortly after leaving
the harbor we entered a "superpod" of common dolphins, estimated
at 3,000 to 4,000 strong. We stayed with the pod for the next 45 minutes
as they darted and leapt around the boat. It was an amazing sight."
