Wyland's Whale and Dolphin Adventure Art Lessons
 Marine Life Artist; Wyland and Dana Wharf Whale Watching present, Wyland's Whale and Dolphin Adventure Art Lessons starting Saturday, January 25th through April 26th, 2025!

Dana Wharf established Whale Watching in Orange County in 1971 and is endorsed by Wyland (Artist of the Sea). The renowned marine life artist found inspiration for his artwork of the beloved gray whale during their migration to warmer waters in the winter. It was from the Gray Whale experience that inspired Wyland to develop the program "Art Lessons in the Wild" with Wyland's Whale and Dolphin Adventures in partnership with Dana Wharf Whale Watching.

This exclusive package for kids ages 12 and under, includes an art lesson via video feed by environmental artist Wyland and a FREE 2-hour whale watching adventure. Each child that participates in the Art Lesson (cost is $15) will be entered in a contest to win prizes as well as a gift from Wyland just for entering! The 2025 Grand Prize will be a framed and signed artwork by Wyland valued up to $3000! All children's artwork will be judged by Wyland for a chance to win other prizes!

Art lessons begin at 9 am. The Whale Watching Adventure departs after the art lesson at 10 am and will end at 12pm. The lesson is limited to 15 children and the $15 art lesson fee will be donated to The Wyland Foundation. Additional Whale Watch tickets are $65 for adults and $45 for kids 12 & under not participating in the lesson. (Valid only on Saturdays at 9 am and must be accompanied by a paid adult, 2 kids max per adult.) The paid adult must be present to participate in the art lesson and free whale watching.
