About Whale Watching in LA

Our lead captain and pioneer, Dan Salas, founded Harbor Breeze Cruises way back in 1990. His passion for the ocean started when Dan was employed at the San Pedro docks as a young, 12-year old boy. Dan’s love of the marine lifestyle only grew as he matured, which led him to pursue a tug boat captain position. After working as a tug boat captain for a decade, Dan set out to start on his own marine venture.

The company acquired its first boat in 1994 when it started offering whale watching and charter cruise tours to the public. Ever since then, Dan has worked feverishly to perfect his whale watching and charter cruise company and has acquired several more cruise and sightseeing boats. Our fleet of charter boats have been custom designed and modified to provide the most breathtaking harbor and whale watching experience.

Dan is renowned as the guru of whale and marine wildlife watching captains in the entire State of California. His unmatched knowledge and experience has been passed on to our other captains and staff, which has resulted in an ever-growing business that continues to thrive. Harbor Breeze Cruises provides the most whale watching tours in Los Angeles and Orange County.
