Captain Dave is a trusted expert in the field of aquatic wildlife. So trusted, in fact, that Ellen Degeneres asked him to explain to her audiences about the dangers of commercial fishing in a special segment on her talk show. He earned the honor after heroically rescuing a whale trapped in a fishing net—along with many other critters who'd gotten tangled up in its web. Captain Dave's love of the sea shines through in everything he does, including his Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari.
The safaris set sale from the Dana Point harbor in one of four watercrafts, but the one that comes particularly highly recommended is the Manute'a. Although each boat offers a safe, stable ride on the waves, the Manute'a boasts one unique feature that gets you up close and personal with any dolphins or whales you encounter on the journey: the Eye-to-Eye Underwater Viewing Pod. It's exactly what it sounds like, a glass case that juts out from the bottom of the boat into the water. Let your kids climb down inside and get up close and personal with dolphins, or take a turn yourself.
