Dads & Donuts Father's Day Cruise

Celebrate Dad on this extra special, donut-filled Whale and Marine Life Tour!

Your 2 and a 1/2 hour adventure aboard the RV Sea Explorer, Ocean lnstitute’s 65′ research vessel, takes you miles beyond the Dana Point Harbor jetty in search of marine mammals such as migrating blue and grey whales; large schools of playful dolphin; the impressive sunfish known as mola-mola; and sleek harbor seals and sea lions.

Ocean Institute’s professional naturalists will brief you with information on our local species before boarding, and they will be on hand during the cruise to provide insight on all the marine life you encounter. Possible hands-on activities include sorting through mud samples from the ocean floor and examining plankton under the microscope.

Our cruises are safe and fun for the entire family, and everyone will learn something new about our ocean and the life within it.

Complimentary donuts and coffee provided in honor of dads everywhere!
