Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this whale and dolphin watching day tour departs directly from Long Beach, offering guided observations of local marine life.

Tipping the captain and crew is customary and appreciated if you feel they provided an excellent experience during your cruise.

Guests should dress in warm, wind-resistant layers and wear flat, closed-toe shoes with good traction for safety on the boat deck.

The ticket includes a narrated boat cruise with a marine biologist or naturalist on board to provide educational commentary. Food and beverages are available for purchase at the onboard galley but are not included in the base fare.

The standard cruise lasts approximately two to two and a half hours from the time the vessel departs the dock until it returns to the harbor.

Passengers frequently observe Pacific white-sided dolphins, common dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins year-round. Seasonal sightings often include gray whales in winter and spring, and blue or fin whales during the summer and fall months.

The cruise departs from the Harbor Breeze Cruises dock located at 400 Aquarium Way in Long Beach, near the Aquarium of the Pacific. Paid parking is available in the adjacent Shoreline Village parking structures and surface lots.

The tour is family-friendly and suitable for all ages, though children under the age of three typically sail for free. Infants and toddlers must be supervised by an adult at all times while on the vessel.

The main deck and restrooms of the vessel are wheelchair accessible, and a ramp is used for boarding. However, the upper observation decks are only accessible via stairs, so passengers using wheelchairs will need to remain on the lower level.

Morning departures generally experience the calmest wind and wave conditions in the San Pedro Bay and Catalina Channel. Afternoon sails are more susceptible to afternoon sea breezes that can create choppier water.

Outside food and drinks, including alcoholic beverages, are strictly prohibited on board the vessel. Guests must purchase any desired snacks or drinks from the ship's fully stocked galley and bar.

If the captain cancels the sailing prior to departure due to unsafe weather conditions, passengers are typically offered a choice to reschedule for another available date or receive a full refund.

While wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed due to the unpredictable nature of marine animals, the operator provides a standby voucher for a future cruise if no whales or dolphins are observed.

This is a British ocean liner that experienced World War II. It is said that there are legends of ghosts on the ship. Its appearance is very similar to the famous Titanic. It has now become a national historical landmark. Visitors can stroll through this huge ship launched in 1934 and explore its gorgeous decoration and retro style. The historical exhibition area on the ship shows the glorious years of the Queen Mary, including classic areas such as the captain's room and the banquet hall, making visitors feel as if they have traveled back to that elegant era. In addition, the Queen Mary also has interactive experience projects such as ghost tours and escape rooms, bringing visitors a mysterious and exciting adventure. At night, visitors can also enjoy a romantic dinner on the ship, or look up at the stars on the deck and feel a different maritime style.
