Q&A

Q: What’s the best time of year to go whale watching in Long Beach?

A: The best time to go really depends on what whales you want to see! Gray whales are typically spotted from November to April, while Blue whales are more prevalent from May to November. If you're flexible, I'd recommend going in late spring or early summer for the best chance to see multiple species, including dolphins and sea lions. Just keep in mind that it's always a bit of a gamble with nature!

Q: Are there any age restrictions for kids on the whale watching tour?

A: No age restrictions! The tours are suitable for all ages, which makes it a great family experience. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need some help with the life jackets. Bring snacks and maybe a jacket if it gets breezy. The crew is super friendly and accommodating!

Q: What’s the parking situation like near the dock?

A: There's a parking lot right near the dock, and I believe it's around $15 for the day. It can fill up quickly on weekends, so getting there early is a smart move! Alternatively, there are some street parking options but they might require a bit of walking. Just make sure to check parking signs!

Anyone been on the whale watching tour in Long Beach?

I’m thinking of buying the whale watching tour as a gift for my partner's birthday! I read that they have great sightings and the tour is about 2 to 2.5 hours long. What’s the experience like? How comfortable are the boats? Anyone have tips for making the most of it?

Help me decide: Is the whale watching tour worth it?

I’m considering this whale watching tour for our anniversary, but I’m a bit hesitant. What if we don’t see any whales? I heard they have a sealife guarantee, but I’m curious how often do they actually see whales? Would love some insights!
