Ride a high-speed catamaran for a small-group whale and dolphin search
2-2.5hr
Scan the open ocean on an approximately 2.5-hour whale and dolphin watching tour that typically runs aboard the high-speed catamaran Hana Hou. Limited capacity helps keep the experience more personal while you cover more ground off San Diego.
Not recommended for guests with back or neck problems due to occasional bumps on the open ocean. Children under 5, pregnant passengers, and anyone unable to board without assistance are not allowed. The operator may switch to another boat in the fleet based on demand or passenger counts.
We have a strict no-cancellation policy.
Product ID: DP7MHZ
You cannot join if you are pregnant, if your child is under 5, or if you cannot board and exit the vessel without assistance. The operator also does not recommend this trip if you have back or neck problems due to occasional bumps on the open ocean.
Dress warm and wear many layers, even in summer. The operator notes it can feel 30+ degrees colder on the ocean due to speed of travel, marine layer, and wind.
Bring a winter jacket, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring cash if you plan to leave a gratuity for the crew.

A huge thank you! My son and I went Aug 17th. While we didn't see any whales, we saw tons of dolphins.. our captain was an amazing mariner as well. Making sure we didn't snash into waves, and kept the ride so enjoyable it is definetly worth a mention. He was genuinely upset we didn't see whales, but the trip was 100% perfect. Thank you thank you thank you.
