Great experience! This is my second time going on this whale watching cruise (first one was pre-covid). I enjoyed this one more just because there were less people! Staff was so awesome. My fiancé’s hydroflask went overboard in the middle of the ocean and the crew was nice enough to swoop it out of the water for us! Bartender downstairs made some delicious mai tai’s. Book a trip! You won’t regret

Such a fun and memorable day. It was a great trip, due to Covid the boat is not completely full... there was a lot of room between the top deck, lower deck, and inside. The bar is absolutely wonderful as well, they’re drinks are fabulous... only thing I wish they had was a way to make the drinks “skinny” other than that truly a 10/10 trip... will definitely do it again!

Wonderful experience, I sat in the back of the boat on the 2nd floor. Saw plenty of dolphins. There are snacks on the boat and they have a bar. Weather was nice, and the drinks are very good as well. I’ll be going back in the near future!

About Ocean Explorer Cruises
Water laps against the edge of the boat as a a dolphin leaps over waves just off the port side. Its smooth, graceful body arcs through the water, swimming with the speed only a set of flippers can muster. Ocean Explorer Cruises seeks out magical moments like this one on the deep blue sea, giving guests a chance to encounter everything from sunsets to Humpback whales. Cruises depart from Newport Bay and set off in search of marine environments on whale watching cruises, romantic settings on sunset cruises, and Christmas light displays or American flags and fireworks on holiday cruises.
