Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the whale watching cruise, or is it suitable for kids?

A: Absolutely, the whale watching cruise is perfect for families! Kids of all ages can join in, and it's a great educational experience for them. Just keep in mind that younger children may need adult supervision, especially on the boat. They’ll really enjoy spotting marine life and listening to the educators!

Q: What should I wear on this cruise? Is it cold out there?

A: Layering is key! It can get chilly on the water, even in LA, especially if you're out there for a few hours. I'd recommend wearing a light jacket and comfortable shoes. Also, don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses! You'll be outside quite a bit.

Q: What happens if we don’t spot any marine life on the cruise? Do we get a voucher?

A: Yes, they have a Sealife Guarantee! If you don't see any marine life, you’ll receive a free voucher to join another cruise in the future. It's a nice way to ensure you don't miss out on the experience. I had to use mine, and they were super accommodating!

Thinking about gifting the whale watching cruise, any tips?

I’m considering getting the whale watching cruise from West Harbor for my parents’ anniversary. They love marine life! I know it includes educators from the Aquarium of the Pacific, which sounds great. Has anyone done this? What was your experience like? Also, should I add the USS Iowa museum ticket? Is it worth it?

Anyone else get seasick on whale watching cruises?

I really want to go on this whale watching cruise, but I tend to get seasick. I’ve heard the catamarans are stable, but I'm nervous about it. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any tips on how to ease seasickness?
