Two Harbors Whale Watching Catalina Island

By Margaret Taylor


Whether living on, or visiting the East or West Coast, there are a number of options when it comes to exploring the ocean. While the Atlantic offers some of the deep sea fishing expeditions, the West offers more in the way of Island adventures and Whale Watching Catalina Island.

Whether cruising the Atlantic to participate in deep sea fishing or the Pacific on the hopes of seeing majestic sea creatures, both have a lot to offer. When it comes to the West coast, taking a cruise to Catalina Island for a two hour stay while whale watching aboard the cruise makes for a nice escape from everyday life. For, this trip offers a two-hour stay on the island along with the opportunity to see a great deal of sea and wildlife.

When it comes to the two hour layover on the island, there are a number of options for dining and shopping. While this is the case, it is important that those traveling aboard the cruise return to the ship at the pick-up time provided. Otherwise, it can be quite costly for a return on the Catalina Flyer when missing the return trip.

On the return trip, the cruise continues along the coast, allowing ocean enthusiasts to view a variety of whales including Grey whales during migration and occasional sightings of larger whales along with Harbor seals which are often playful and plentiful in the area. In addition, it is not uncommon to spot bald eagles catching fish along the shoreline.

Once the vessel returns to home port on the mainland of Southern California, it can often be a great opportunity to explore one of the many harbor side restaurants and watch the sun set over the harbor. In addition, there are a number of docks which allow for a nice stroll either after or before dinner. For, there is nothing quite like a nice stroll, a lovely dinner and watching a beautiful sunset after a day of whale watching and sight seeing.

Pricing can vary between $50 to $100 with a number of different discounts available. For more information on pricing, interested parties can visit the Two Harbors website for more information and to make reservations. It should be noted that if needing to cancel a paid reservation, the cancellation must take place 48 hours in advance in order to acquire a refund.

When it comes to seating aboard the cruise, the vessel offers indoor seating along with a large sundeck which seats up to 30 people. If travelers miss the pick up at Catalina, a flyer is available to arrange for a return trip at an additional cost. If and when needing to cancel a trip, the company requires 48 hours notice.

In all cases, Two Harbors can not be held responsible for anyone missing a departure or return trip. The company has an outstanding reputation for departing and arriving back at the dock on time. When it comes to pricing, purchasers may want to note that additional fees related to fuel charges, taxes and fees can often appear on credit card statements at a later date.
