Capt Ryan pointed straight out towards Catalina, and within 15 minutes we found a small pod of common dolphin that were quite playful. A good start. We kept pushing out to sea, looking for big groups of birds which have been signaling &#8220;feed areas&#8221; where whales and dolphins have been. Sure enough, a big flock of birds in the distance produced three humpback whales and hundreds of common dolphin. We saw one of the whales jump twice!<\/p>\n<p>3:00pm- Wind out of the south subsided a bit, and the whales moved even closer, so that was nice! Capt Tom on the Manatea &#8220;babysat&#8221; them for us in between our trips, so we knew right where to look for the 3:00pm. We saw 2 humpbacks on this trip and they were the same ones from earlier. We also got to see a few jumps again, and lots of dolphin! On the way in we saw our sea otter friend again! A nice finish to our day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-853 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatewhaleadventure.com\/triplog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/humpback-whale-newport-beach-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"humpback-whale-newport-beach\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-854 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatewhaleadventure.com\/triplog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sea-otter-orange-county-500x297.jpg\" alt=\"sea-otter-orange-county\" width=\"500\" height=\"297\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11:30am- More wind today but that didn&#8217;t stop us!
