Dock wisdom

Whale watching runs all year — grays Dec to Apr, blues and dolphins in summer.

Most boats leave from Newport or Dana Point, a 15 to 30 min drive from the HB Pier.

Morning trips have the calmest water and the best light for spotting blows.

Book sunset sails a day ahead — they sell out first, every night.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
