Itinerary

Your trip departs from Dana Point, the World's Whale Watching Capital.™ Please check in at least 30 minutes in advance.

Duration: 30 minutes

Location: Dana Point Harbor, 34624 Golden Lantern St, Dana Point, CA 92629-2908

We will depart from Dana Point in the morning to achieve the smoothest possible cruising conditions to Catalina Island. Travel time to Catalina is about3 hours, giving you ample opportunities along the way to get up close and personal with magnificent whales, dolphins, and other sea life. Friendly naturalists will provide interesting narration about the animals you're viewing, for a cruise that is both fun and educational!
The boat, Lily, is Orange County's most luxurious whale watching boat. This catamaran features a beautifully appointed main cabin and galley with an assortment of snacks and beverages available to purchase. Upstairs on the covered upper sundeck, you can relax on cushioned seats while enjoying the fresh ocean air and great views of the animals. Rails wrapped with glass offer protection from the wind. Or visit with the Captain in the pilothouse! Lily's specially designed bow offers supreme comfort and convenience with wrap-around cushioned seating and backrests, cup holders and rails enclosed with glass for added protection from the elements.
When we arrive at Catalina you’ll have around 4 hours to go ashore and eat, shop, hike and explore the many wonders of picturesque and historic Avalon. The island features a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, so dressing in layers that you can add or remove as needed is a great idea.
On the return trip to Dana Point, you will again have the chance to view and learn about the numerous species of wildlife off the coast of Southern California.
