Adventure Rib Rides will begin daily Gray Whale and Dolphin Watching Excursions starting December 15th from 9am-Noon and 1-4pm. Passengers will enjoy the adventure of a lifetime on board a fun, fast RIB boat. All excursions are limited to 6 passengers, making for an intimate on-the-water experience.
Our knowledgeable captain will serve as on board naturalist and guide, which makes for a personal and interactive experience. Passengers can enjoy seeing Gray Whales offshore from mid December through mid April as they migrate South to the warm lagoons in Mexico to bear their calves and then return North to the Bering Sea.

In addition to seeing Gray Whales, sightings of Humpback and Fin Whales are common during this time of year, as well as various species of dolphin which often number in the hundreds and even thousands. The dolphins come right up to the RIB and play in the boat’s bow wave and stern wake. The dolphins are so close, it feels like you can reach out and touch them. This intimate on-the-water experience makes Adventure Rib Rides’ excursions a unique and personal on-the-water experience.
