Dana Point Harbor Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari:

Captain Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari offers you the opportunity to get up close and personal with Orange County dolphins and whales, as well as other beautiful sea creatures. The Laguna Coast is known as a landmark for whale sightings and now is the season for viewing Gray Whales during their natural migration.  See these beautiful creatures along with other whales species, large pods of dolphin, sea lions, birds and other exciting marine life. The perfect opportunity to swim with dolphins and whales without getting wet!

The whale watching and dolphin safaris leave from Dana Harbor daily and take you on a 2 1/2 hour coastal adventure with mega-pods of dolphins and magnificent whales. The high-speed catamaran sailboat (with underwater viewing) is never crowded!  See website: http://www.dolphinsafari.com/

To view an amazing video of dolphins and whales filmed off south Orange County with an aerial drone click here.  It has been dubbed the “viral video of the week” by ABC News.

Dave Anderson recently shot what he calls some of the most amazing dolphin and whale footage in his more than two decades at sea.  The Laguna Coast resident, who runs Captain Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari, used a flying drone to film thousands of stampeding dolphins just outside of Dana Point Harbor. Then he filmed three gray whales cruising off San Clemente on their southern migration to the lagoons of Baja California.  The images are part of a five-minute video Anderson put together that also includes a close-up of a humpback whale calf snuggling and playing with its mother while another whale swims nearby.
