Long Beach Whale Watching and Dolphin Tour at Harbor Breeze Cruises

The Long Beach Whale Watching and Dolphin Tour is a 2.5-hour boat tour departing from Long Beach, taking passengers into the waters off the Southern California coast in search of grey whales, blue whales, and common dolphins. A naturalist guide accompanies each departure, providing commentary on the marine life and the local ecosystem throughout the trip. Long Beach sits at the edge of one of the most active cetacean corridors on the Pacific coast, making it a reliable base for Los Angeles visitors looking to get out on the water.

During the tour, the naturalist points out whale spouts, breaches, and dolphin pods as they appear, with sightings varying by season. Grey whales are most commonly seen during their migration between December and April, while blue whales and fin whales are more frequent in summer. Tickets cover the full 2.5-hour cruise and the on-board naturalist programme. Booking is available for multiple daily departures, and most operators offer a return guarantee if no cetaceans are sighted on the day.
