If you love whales and crave an exclusive, intimate cruise to view them up-close, then our limited-edition Whale Geek Dana Point whale watching cruise is ‘fintastic’ for you! This memorable extended safari focuses on showing you the magnificent year-round whales that live near Dana Point. Of course, we’ll be on the open ocean, so other marine wildlife, including dolphins, sea lions, pelagic birds, sharks, and other fish, could also be seen.
On Capt. Dave’s Dana Point Whale Geek Safari, you’ll have a chance to get up-close and personal with the largest creatures on the planet without inhibiting their natural behavior. Our knowledgeable marine naturalists will take you on a deeper dive into the lives of these gentle giants; what they do, where they go, and the threats, both natural and man-made, that they face.
At the conclusion of your special safari, we hope you’ll enjoy not only a greater understanding of whales and other sea life but also one of Mrs. Capt. Dave’s yummy triple fudge brownies!
Capt. Dave’s Dana Point Whale Geek cruise carries no more than six guests, plus our experienced Captain and First Mate – providing an intimate and relaxed environment for everyone.
My stepdad and I participated in the Whale Geek Safari on 1/18/20; we enjoyed the intimate nature of the Orca vessle. On this special trip, there were five guests, fantastic Captain Craig, and the incredibly knowledgeable first mate, Naturalist Cheryl. What an amazing adventure for everybody! As a novice photographer, I loved the amazing access to animals. I will definitely go back to Captain Dave's. In particular, I really hope to participate in a second Whale Geek Safari with a small group on the Orca. What an amazing trip! I'll remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you, Captain Craig and Naturalist Cheryl!
