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.

In either case, the Atlantic and Pacific offer a plethora of opportunities for deep sea fishing and viewing majestic sea creatures. When it comes to Two Harbor cruises on the West coast, those aboard one of the cruise ships often view not only whales but other sea creatures and wildlife. In addition, unlike other cruises of this nature, Two Harbors allows those aboard to spend a few hours perusing Catalina Island as part of the excursion.

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.

The return trip is where most of the whale watching and wildlife viewing takes place. For example, there are often migrating Grey whales and occasional sightings of large Orcas on the return to Newport. Whereas, one of the main focus of the initial departure is the trip to Catalina Island. In either case, it is not uncommon to see majestic bald eagles and other shore birds catching fish along the shoreline.

Once the cruise returns to the mainland back at Newport, it can often be a good opportunity to have a nice dinner while watching the evening Sunset. For, the tour arrives back at approximately 6:00 p. M., just in time for a nice walk along the harbor, having dinner at one of the multi-star restaurants and watching the sun set after a beautiful day of sailing and sightseeing.

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.

It should noted that Two Harbors can not be responsible if those attending a cruise miss departure from Newport Harbor or pick up at Catalina. As such, anyone requiring a return is responsible for the cost of the return trip. Whereas, it should also be noted that there can often be additional charges such as tax, fees and fuel charges in addition to the cost of tickets.
