Whale Watching Marina del Rey Visitors | Newport Landing

Manhattan Beach Whale Watching was introduced for locals and travelers interested in going whale watching. Newport Landing offers affordable, daily excursions year-round just south of Manhattan Beach departing from beautiful Newport Beach. With its guarded coast and marine canyon right off shore, Newport Bay is home to various species and hosts many different migratory species all year long. These factors make Newport one of the most flourishing whale watching locales in the country. Whale Watching Manhattan Beach with Newport Landing has offered inexpensive whale watching from Newport Beach for decades.

During summer and fall, Blue, Finback, and Minke Whales are typically seen off the coast of Newport. Southern California waters host Gray Whales the rest of the year, as they migrate to feed and give birth. Manhattan Beach whale watch cruises have the opportunity to see Southern California resident Common Dolphin along with Bottlenose Dolphin, Risso’s Dolphin, and California Sea Lions.

Newport Landing’s primary whale watching boat was built for the sole purpose of whale watching and has comfortable seating, an upper-level viewing area, as well as a large, indoor galley with snacks and drinks. Our knowledgeable captains have years of experience locating dolphins and whales with a 96% success rate of finding them on our tours. Thank you for stopping by and we look forward to having you with us!
