California (Dana Point)

Nature's Most Breathtaking Sight - Grey Whales


Appearing Daily, Nov. through April

Dana Point – Even as they chat with friends or family aboard Dana Wharf Sport Fishing and Whale Watching vessels, passengers’ eyes seldom leave the ocean, scanning the horizon for the awesome, unmistakable shape of the gray whale. Some days, the ocean is alive with them.

The day after Thanksgiving, November 28th at 10am, marks the beginning of the season, when the waters off of Dana Point become a whale-watching showground. In fact, it’s the vantage point from which marine biologists and other ocean scientists study the huge mammals, as they make their way from the Bering Straits to Baja for the winter.

Dana Wharf schedules convenient, multiple cruises daily during the season and even offers rain checks on the rare occasion that passengers don’t see a whale or dolphins. Guests can go to www.danawharf.com to book and check the schedule of trips. Dana Wharf Sportfishing the originator of Whale Watching in Orange County is located at 34675 Golden Lantern in Dana Point. www.danapointharbor.com
