TRAVEL BY NIC…….The Perpetual Tourist!

Whale Watching / Davey’s Locker, 400 Main St., Newport Beach, CA

This is the 2^nd 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 1^st 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?!
