Activity itinerary

We have the potential of viewing giant blue whales, finback whales, grey whales, minke whales, common dolphin, bottlenose dolphin and many more in their natural habitat! With one the largest marine protected parks just outside of Newport Bay, whales and dolphin of all types can be viewed as soon as you leave the bay. Once you check in to receive your boarding pass and board our vessels, you will have a 15-minute cruise through our beautiful Newport Harbour viewing multi-million-dollar mansions along the harbour coastline as well. Also, during this time, feel free to head to the galley to purchase the drink of your choice (cocktails, beer, wine, soft drink or water). Once we hit the open ocean, we will be in search for wildlife of all kinds (sharks included)! Choose a seat inside our galley area or outside for the best views!
