What to Expect

Get closer, faster, and lower to the water on this high-speed Zodiac Safari departing from Dana Point, the Dolphin & Whale Watching Capital of the World®. Designed for small groups, this agile vessel delivers an intimate, eye-level experience with whales, dolphins, and other marine wildlife.

With 360° unobstructed views and a ride built for speed and maneuverability, your captain can quickly reach active wildlife areas and position you for incredible up-close encounters. Along the way, your expert captain and marine naturalist provide insight into the animals you encounter and the surrounding ocean environment.

This is a more adventurous, immersive experience than traditional whale watching, with a fun, fast, and occasionally bouncy ride that puts you right at the water’s surface.
