Whale, Then

Disneyland Hotel Dance

 

Are you ready for the big migration? Every year, the massive gray whales migrate back up from Mexico along the coast of Newport and Laguna Beach, a protected haven for the big beasts. Along with gray whales, blue whales and an array of dolphin species also make the journey, and February is prime time to catch a sighting and photo of several of the migrators.

Cruises in Newport Beach start at just $16, but you can also opt for a romantic dinner or brunch package. It’s nearly guaranteed that you’ll enjoy some great sightings during this migratory period, especially thanks to the crystal clear waters and expert knowledge of your captain.

What to Expect

The migration takes place January through April, so any month in winter and early spring is a fantastic time to get on board. However, for February, consider booking a romantic holiday whale watching cruise. Cozy up with someone you love, and enjoy a special outing on turquoise waters to see a variety of marine wildlife.

Choose from a selection of tour providers, lengths and vessels to make this trip one you’ll never forget. Bring binoculars to get even “closer” to the whales and dolphins, and don’t forget to come back at the end of summer to watch their return migration!
