This is a 45 minute harbor cruise around the Long Beach Harbor. It is narrated and you learn a little about the harbor and the Queen Mary. It passes by the Queen Mary and out near the open ocean, but turns around before you reach that point. It was pleasant and they provided a bimini top for the people on... More

My mother, 2 year old son and I went on a "whale watching" cruise (aka. dolphin and sea life) during the off season, end of November beginning of December (I don't recall). Although we were unsuccessful in sighting a whale, the two representatives on board pointed out sea life and dolphins. The trip was fun and educational for both my... More

Went whale watching with this company and saw lots of dolphins and a blue whale! My kids loved it! Parking minute away from the boats and lots of restaurant choices seconds away, overall a wonderful experience! More

We saw whales, dolphins and seals. Harbor Cruise use the "Christopher" (cat-hull boat) for their whale watching. Which we found to be comfortable with a snack bar and restrooms on board. The key point is that the boat is very fast, which is essential to see lots of whales. The whales are spotted by puffs of mist from when they... More

I recently went on a tour with harbor cruises. The day was nice although it was very apparent that the captain and crew were NOT into it. The boat was very nasty and the bathrooms were a horrible! There was sea life so I can't complain too much about that. The main problem was the ride; just to get out... More

We had a great time on the whale watching tour--the staff are very knowledgable and friendly, the tickets were easy to get (I ordered them online about a week before the tour--here you also get a $5 discount and the $40/person is absolutely worth it!), the boat was great and the marine life amazing! We saw many schools of dolphin... More

Tour of Long Beach Harbor. Just relaxing ride. Could not hear all the narration but the water compensated. Great value. Convenient parking. More

We had a wonderful experience on Harbor Breeze Cruises' 3-3 1/2 hour whale watching cruise. We had tried for two days, without success, to sight a blue whale with another whale watching company (Davey's Locker in Newport Beach) and were pleasantly surprised to sight a blue whale with Harbor Breeze Cruises on our first try (we later found out that...

My family and I recently went whale watching in Long Beach with Harbor Breeze Cruises, we had an excellent time! They have a brand new high speed catamaran and we spotted 3 Humpback Whales and tons of Dolphins that were playing with the boat. There was also an employee from the Aquarium of the Pacific that narrated about all the... More
