From Long Beach to Orange County, Davey's Locker Whale Watching Cruises from Newport Harbor in Newport Beach has been providing whale watching cruises and whale watching tours for Long Beach and Orange County for over 30 years. Whale Watching cruises are also known as whale watching excursions and whale watching tours and Davey's Locker offers the best whale watching Southern California has to offer. With the nutrient rich waters and deep underwater canyons just outside the mouth of Newport Harbor, great amounts of marine life congregate to feed. Grey Whales, dolphins, sea lions, porpoises, harbor seals, and marine birds are just some of the many creatures that a typical Davey's Locker whale watching tour may encounter. Unlike Los Angeles Area Harbors and Dana Point Harbor, Newport Harbor is surrounded by deep nutrient rich waters and it is quite common to find Gray whales just outside Newport Harbor's entrance. With the pristine Laguna Beach coastline just south of the harbor and ample coastline along Huntington Beach, odds are very high that whales and dolphin are both viewed on a single whale watching trip.

The ACS School Whale Watch program at Davey's Locker provides more than just a trip to view marine mammals in their natural surroundings. In addition to the boat trip, we provide:

• An in classroom lecture by a volunteer ACS docent to "pre educate" the students on the marine life they are likely to see while on the ocean (subject to volunteer availability).

• On board narration by an ACS naturalist that provides a running commentary on what the students view during their trip.
