TRAVEL BY NIC…….The Perpetual Tourist!
Whale Watching / Davey’s Locker, 400 Main St., Newport Beach, CA
This is
the 2nd time we’ve gone whale watching. One time in November and one time in
February. I have enjoyed the peaceful
ride out to the ocean. The cruise is for
2 hours and you leave full of anticipation.'=
Both times
we’ve been able to see at least one whale, dolphins and wild seals. What I’ve learned on both of these trips…..it’s
extremely hard to capture the whale in photos!
They pop up and then you are just never sure where they will breech
next. Luckily I had my
friend/photographer with us that was able to capture some great photos.
The 1st
time we went out to whale watch we left from Long Beach; I totally enjoy
leaving from Newport Beach, since that is way closer for us. I’ve cruised with
Davey’s Locker before and they are great company. Lots of times you can find their coupons on
Groupon. If you cruise on the weekend
it costs $36 during the week $32 per person.
Their boats have a concession on board so there is plenty of coffee to
keep you warm and treats to munch on.
My
favorite place to eat lunch is the Harbor House which is the center piece of
the Newport Fun Zone. If you go to the
bar side you can get the BEST appetizers for only $4! In the evening hours $6……People! Good bites
for less than McDonalds! Plus you’re
sitting right near Davey’s Locker’s docks.
This is an
enjoyable way to spend a morning or afternoon; however it’s a gamble on what
you will see! I would have loved to have
seen more than one whale, but that was the luck of the draw! Or should I say the Sea?!
