Amazing day on the water with 100+ dolphins TripAdvisor, 12/2025

"This was one of the best excursions of my life. Our tour guide Vano was amazing... His friends in other boats notified him via radio about a large pod of dolphins about a mile away and he took us right there. For an hour we watched 100+ common dolphins swim, jump, and ride the crest of water off the bow of our boat. We got some amazing videos! Highly recommended!!"

"The Dolphin and Sea Lion boat expedition at Catalina Coastal Tours was an incredibly surreal experience. My mother and I loved it so much we booked a second boat ride the next day. We were surrounded by a pod of at least 300 hundred Common dolphins jumping up all around us. There is nothing like seeing wildlife in their natural habitat. My mother and I highly recommend booking this boating adventure. It is hands down our favorite activity on Catalina Island."
