Dana Point Whale Watching is a photo blog produced by Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari in Dana Point, California. Southern California has the greatest density of dolphins per square miles of anywhere on earth per NOAA. And according to Cascadia Research we have the largest concentration of blue whales on the planet. 19,000 Gray Whales pass by Dana Point every year on their annual winter migration.
Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari offers daily, year-round, whale watching trips led by experienced marine naturalists on the most unique whale watching catamaran in the world with two underwater viewing pods, hydrophone, live broadcasting and Mrs. Capt. Dave’s famous triple fudge brownies.
We have he most unique dolphin and whale watching boat in the world! Bring the entire family and get up-close and personal with huge herds of wild dolphins, migrating Gray Whales (Dec – April), migrating Blue Whales (May – Nov.), Humpback whales, Fin Whales, and even Orca Whales. We have the world’s only Eye to Eye Underwater Viewing Pods! See dolphins up close and BE one of the pod from our three Eye-Spy Dolphin Nets. Hear the animals too, with a research quality underwater hydrophone, while an experienced marine naturalist shares a collection of marine mammal artifacts and narrates how these animals live. Mrs. Captain Dave’s yummy Triple Fudge Brownies are served on every safari.
