See Whales and Dolphins in Newport Beach’s Huge Marine Sanctuary With Davey’s Locker Tours Reviews & Ratings

It was very fun outing. I enjoyed seeing all the dolphins jump out of the ocean. It was really alot to see and the ocean was so beautiful. The crew on the boat was very nice and professional. I was happy that they were helpful and keep the...continued

Great experience.

Nice boat ride only saw a few dolphins and a few seals no whales

Boat was there at the dock, but for some reason they didn't start loading until 3:30 p.m. when we were supposed to be leaving. So we left 10 -15 minutes late. Also difficult to hear the narrator from the outside deck. Otherwise a very...continued

The cruise itself was GREAT! Saw dozens of dolphins - very playful!! And 2 huge whales!

But... getting there was NOT half the fun!! We were not warned that we'd be in a LONG line to get on the ferry, and the whole "getting there" process was...continued

A very nice time

Be sure to arrive 30 min before. even if it's a hot day bring a windbreaker or hoodie. especially up front you'll get sprayed by the ocean water.We didn't see any whales but saw lots of dolphins.They were jumping out of the water and racing under...continued

Nice ride...relaxing but nothing to really see except sea lions, pelicans, seagulls and were lucky to see some dolphins. No whales :(

Wonderful 2 hour cruise out of Newport. Boat was late in leaving, but there was plenty of room for everyone onboard to enjoy the outing. And yes, we did see whales and a large pod of dolphins!

It was an Awesome experience and we did have the opportunity to see on Cruise a couple of Whales and plenty of Dolphins. I would definitely do this cruise again!! Recommend it to fellow Goldstar members!!!!

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We didn't see any WHALES....you cant even hear the person speak on the boat...just wasn't worth my time or my money.

What a wonderful morning we two adults and three boys (ages 7, 11, and 12) spent on Davey's Locker whale-watching boat, the Ocean Explorer! Over the course of 2 1/2 hours in beautiful weather, we saw several blue whales, a minke whale, and quite a...continued

Saw abour 5-6 whales and a ton of dolphins. Super fun!

We were very lucky. First we ran across a pod of dolphins estimated to be 2,000. It's always so fun watching them bow-riding along side the boat. Then we were delighted by a close encounter with a whale. It was a perfect day on the water, and the...continued

It was fun and exhilerating. I saw whales, dolphins, and seals. I saw a mother whale with her baby. Thrilling.

With relatives coming in from Chicago, I thought this would be fun to do. It was a gorgeous day. Our crew was friendly and helpful and the main speaker was very informative and engaging, telling us about the "young whale" we came upon. As we...continued

Been on a few whale watching trips with them and its always a great way to spend a few hours on my day off.. And if you don't see any whales or dolphins, they give you a free return visit!! Will be back several more times

I've done this twice with Davy's Locker and you just can't beat it. Awesome!

it was awesome i went with my whole family and saw dolphins and whales..it was a good day

Once on the boat, it was a beautiful ride and I enjoyed being on the ocean. This particular whale watching tour is more of a "hit and miss" trip (the ship didn't really have any equipment to find whales, etc.)...we did see hammerhead shark, some...continued
