Discovering Two Harbors Whale Watching Catalina Island

By Margaret Taylor


There are often a number of cruises related to deep sea fishing and viewing majestic sea creatures available on the East and West Coast. In one case, Two Harbors tours on the West coast offers a trip in which those aboard can explore Whale Watching Catalina Island. For, while the trip is focused on whale watching, there is also a two hour layover on the 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.

As with most layovers, the captain will provide a pick-up time for a return to Newport. It is important that guests arrive back at the dock early or on-time as the vessel will not wait for late comers. If and when missing a return trip, there is a Catalina Flyer which can be called for a return to Newport.

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.

Different types of seating is available on board at no additional cost. For example, there is a lovely sundeck which seats approximately 30 individuals along with indoor seating on different levels. In most cases, guests prefer to sit on the sundeck or stand close to the railing in order to experience the most optimum aspect for viewing sea and wildlife while on board.

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.
