U.S. Coast Guard inspected and approved.
|
| Q: |
What type of
clothing/shoes/hat/glasses should we wear? |
|
A: |
Casual to
your taste. Please keep in mind that it does get
cooler out on the water than on land so layers are
ideal. Flat, skid-resistant, closed toe and heel
shoes are recommended.
|
| Q: |
Are there
refreshments onboard? |
|
A: |
A snack
bar is onboard where you may satisfy your hunger with
hot dogs, chips, popcorn, candy, and other great snacks! You
may also quench your thirst with ice cold soda,
water, and beer.
|
| Q: |
Where do we park? |
|
A: |
The
closest parking structure is
the Aquarium parking structure. We are the first
dock to the left of the Aquarium of the Pacific and across the street from Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant.
Parking is discounted to $8 with validation from the
ticket booth-the parking garage reserves the right
to change this without notice. |
| Q: |
What types of
marine life do you see? |
|
A: |
While no
sightings are guaranteed, we typically see
Blue Whales (largest animal on earth) May through
November. Gray Whales migrate
past Long Beach December through April. Dolphins, Sea Lions,
and
Harbor Seals are spotted throughout the year. We also see Fin
Whales, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, and have even
seen pods of Orcas (Killer Whales) on our trips! |
| Q: |
Are sightings
guaranteed? |
|
A: |
Unfortunately sightings are not guaranteed
as we don't use tracking devices that can harm the
animals but we
try our best to look for any marine life we can find
for our guests. |
|
| Q: |
When is the best
time to go? |
|
A: |
There
are year-round whale watching possibilities off the
coast of California. There is not necessarily
a greater percent chance at any given time. |
