Capt Dave's Dana Point Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari

We’re living our Lisa Frank folder dreams with these gorgeous dolphins at sunset.#dolphin#ecotourism

Sightings can shift each year, so as we move toward a new month we hope to see more blue whales 🤞

There’s one thing bottlenose dolphins LOVE and that’s surfing the swells behind our vessels #surf

If you thought mommy & me groups were just for humans, think again! #pod #dolphins #danapoint

Does it get any cuter? We can’t believe how tiny this baby bottlenose was. #babydolphin #cute

Here’s a mini moment of zen: just the sunset, a breath, and a sense of peace. #peace #vitaminsea

You won’t find that in a tank! A dolphin’s natural, unbridled freedom is extraordinary to behold.

Have we mentioned how ‘whaley’ great our sightings have been lately? #whalewatching #whaletail

Is there anything better than a sunny day at sea? #dolphinsafari #danapoint #commondolphin

One of you must be manifesting minke whales, because we had a magical mugging moment yesterday! #wow

Nothing like a weekend blue whale sighting to bring some wildlife magic to your Monday. #bluewhale

Did you see it? We love surprises in the midst of something already spectacular. #dolphin #leap #wow

The world is vast, and the oceans are deep, and we get to spend time connecting with wildlife. #awe

We’re doing another flashback Friday to this awesome sighting of a Bryde’s whale from 2022. #whale

Hello friends! We are always excited to say hi when we see dolphins.#commondolphin #danapoint #hello

Did you take the bait? The dolphins did! #commondolphin #baitball #fish #danapoint #dolphinsafari

We hope you can join us to witness one of Earth’s most magnificent creatures! #bluewhale #selfie

Here’s a little bit of a flashback Friday from last month when we saw Risso’s dolphins. #dolphins

A sound that’s music to our ears is a breath from a blue whale. #bluewhale #whalewatching #danapoint

Got some adorable cow-calf pairs for you! #danapoint #humpbackwhale #finwhale #graywhale

We’re having a meditative moment this Monday and thought you’d like to join us.#dolphins #mondaymood

We found something different for you & brought back the question- do crabs have eyebrows? 🦀

Will you join us for some Vitamin Sea? #vitaminsea #ocean #dolphins #danapoint #whalewatching

Looking for a moment of joy? Common dolphins have you covered. #whalewatching #dolphin #danapoint

Over the past week or so we've been fortunate to come across large pods of bottlenose #dolphin!

What’s our jam? Whale tails and waves! #humpbackwhale #whale #whalewatching #music #nature

Nothing better than a close encounter with a pair of humpback whales from our zodiac RIB AllSwell!

It’s World Nature Conservation Day! How will you help? #conservation #protectwhatmatters

There’s nothing more precious than a baby thresher shark! 🦈 #sharkweek #wildlife #ocean #danapoint

Happy World Whale and Dolphin Day! Celebrate with us by protecting & admiring these ocean icons.

July 18, 2025

When we come across a wonderful pod of bow riding #dolphin s, we have to wonder who is watching who?

Sometimes the best moments are the simple ones ✨ #wonder #dolphin #minkewhale #moments

All in favor of renaming the “Common Dolphin” to “Most Beautiful Dolphin” say aye! #dolphin

It’s #WorldOrcaDay! #Orcas don’t often grace Dana Point shores, but when they do, it’s incredible.

Sharks play a vital role in maintaining healthy oceans. It’s Shark Awareness Day! #shark #amazing

Dolphins when they see our boats pullin' up🚀 Some dolphin species love to bow ride! #dolphin #surf

Mola Mola may have a brain the size of a walnut, but they still can exhibit complex behaviors. 💙☀️🐟

Can anything capture awe like a humpback breaching? We don't think so either. #humpbackwhale
