Guided Whale Watching Tour from Long Beach

Depart from the Harbor Breeze Whale Watching Cruises meeting point (Long Beach, CA 90802) for a gentle 2 h 30 m voyage into the Pacific, guided by seasoned captains with 30+ years of whale-watching experience.

The tour uses custom-built catamarans with climate-controlled interiors, large windows, outdoor seating and modern safety systems. You’ll pass by sights including the Queen Mary, the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Port of Long Beach breakwater and cruise terminal before heading into deeper waters where marine life abounds.

Wildlife you may encounter includes gray whales (Nov–Apr), blue whales (May–Nov), humpbacks, fin whales, minke whales, orcas, dolphins, sea lions and rare seabirds. Included in the tour are: low-emission engines to minimize impact on the marine environment, expert narration, multiple restrooms on board, and a ‘sea-life guarantee’ (i.e., if no sealife is seen, you can return for free).
