WHAT TO BRING WHALE WATCHING
- Camera/Drone – Capt. Dave’s safaris are great for whale watching Dana Point visitors interested in wildlife photography.
- Jacket – Whale watching safaris can be a bit chilly, so an extra layer is highly recommended.
- Sunscreen – Guests can bring sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses for protection at sea.
- Binoculars – Whale watching Dana Point visitors can bring binoculars to enhance the overall experience–like spotting lice and barnacles hugging a gray whale.
- Water & snacks – Guests are encouraged to bring small snacks and water, and keep track of any wrappers, etc.
On your whale watching Dana Point tour, you’ll want to keep your eyes open and your camera ready because we regularly see a wide range of other marine animals, too! This includes seals, sea lions, sharks, sea turtles, local marine birds, jellyfish, and much, much more!
While we do see dolphins and whales on more than 95% of our tours, our large marine friends occasionally decide to take the day off. Don’t worry if this happens! We will provide you with another tour within the year—totally free of charge!
