What are people saying about Newport Beach

Patti_M, May 2026

Enjoyable day!

Enjoy what you see, rather than lament what you don’t see. We saw many, many dolphins having fun with us. Also saw a Mola Mola, or Ocean Sunfish. I do wish, however, that we could have heard the captain/guide better on the topside speakers. What I did hear was informative and interesting.

Nicole_L, Apr 2026

An amazing experience!

This was such a lovely experience! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and they made sure to explain every step so we always knew what was happening. Even though my kids and I didn’t quite know what to expect at first, it turned out to be an amazing and memorable experience. We felt safe the entire time, and the crew did a fantastic job sharing interesting facts about the sea life we encountered. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Nicolas_G, Apr 2026

It was great the captain...

It was great the captain gave us knowledge and gave us a heads up so we wouldn’t miss the dolphins or whales
