About this experience
Embark on an unforgettable journey into the Pacific Ocean to spot migrating Whales. Along the way, we’ll also search for Dolphins, Sea Lions, and other incredible marine life that inhabit our waters. Expert educators from the Aquarium of the Pacific will enhance your experience, offering insights on everything you encounter. Our seasoned captains and crew bring over 30 years of whale-watching expertise. Harbor Breeze boasts the largest fleet of custom-built catamarans, offering unmatched stability, comfort, and eco-friendly design. With ultra-quiet, low-emission engines, our vessels ensure a peaceful experience that doesn’t disturb the whales or their environment.
Make it an extra special experience by purchasing the bundle and adding access to the Battleship USS Iowa, the only battleship museum open to the public on the West Coast. Explore the USS Iowa Museum at your own pace, and walk the decks of this storied battleship and learn about naval history through interactive exhibits.
