Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari is passionately owned and operated by husband and wife team, Captain Dave Anderson (“Captain Dave”), who is Coast Guard licensed, and his wife Gisele (Mrs. Captain Dave). For over twenty years, they have been taking people whale watching to enjoy the company of some of the most magnificent marine mammals on the planet on unique vessels such as the Manute’a, equipped with the world’s only underwater viewing pods. Whether guiding families on one of their tours, educating school groups, or entertaining celebrities, they’ve had the pleasure of introducing and connecting tens of thousands of people from all around the world to the dolphins and whales of Dana Point—the Dolphin and Whale Watching Capital of the World®.
