Description
Davey's Locker offers whale watching and deep-sea fishing trips out of Newport Beach, California. The whale watching tour reviewed here lasts 2.0-2.5h and takes place at least times a day year-round. Customers may expect to spot whales (blue, gray, finback, humpback), bottlenose dolphins and sea lions. The primary ship is 65 feet (20m) with a large upstairs sundeck, wrap around outside seating, indoor seating with large windows and a snack bar with food and beverages. Captains & crews have backgrounds in marine biology.

Instructions & Recommendations
Besides 09h00, 12h00 and 14h30, there are several other departure times available through the booking widget during the peak tourist season.
Environmental & Social
No word about conservation and boats use fossil fuels. The crews have backgrounds in marine biology so the sightings are carried out responsibly (not too close or chasing)
Conclusion
Based on reviews, the operator looks to be reputable but nobody can't guarantee any whale sighting so, as long as expectations are kept in check and you are satisfied with a good offshore sailing and spotting dolphins or sea lions as chance dictates, then adults and children will have a good time.
Key positive
Watching seems to be done quite responsibly
Pricing not unreasonable
Key negative
Odds of not seeing whales are significant
Suitability
Suitable for all ages. It is unclear whether the primary boat is accessible for wheelchair users
