  Enjoy our NEW Educational Video Series

     Newport Landing offers free educational videos, curriculum packets, activity sheets, whale and dolphin information plus fun and educational activities. LIVE FIELD TRIP INFORMATION: All students enjoy our $11 field trip whale watching cruise rate per person (retails for $37.50) Good for public schools, private schools, home schools, & all types of kids groups. Newport Landing provides multiple whale watching and dolphin cruises daily year round aboard our specifically built-for-whale-watching ships, the Ocean Explorer and the Legacy. Our cruises depart from Newport Harbor in Newport Beach. Newport Harbor is s surrounded by the famous coastlines of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. On one of our whale watching cruises you can expect to see dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and, of course, whales. The winter and spring months bring the annual grey whale migration with over 10,000 gray whales participating and the summer and fall months, giant blue whales which migrate into the coastal waters in the hundreds to feed. Along with gray whales and blue whales, see humpback whales, minke whales, finback whales, and many species of dolphin year round. Over 2300 whales were viewed in 2019! Why are there some many whales just outside of Newport Harbor? The answer is the unique marine ecosystem which brings nutrient rich waters very close to shore. The unique ecosystem is so special that a 15 mile state marine protected park was created in 2012 to ensure this rich environment remains for generations to come. Reserve your $11 student cruises online at http://www.newportwhales.com/whalewatchingprices.html#reserve and on the last page of checkout enter Promo "11whale" in voucher code box and click apply voucher or just give us a call at 949-675-0551.

  Calling all teachers! Want to teach your students a bit more about STEM while having a hands-on experience? Think about setting up a field trip to one of our locations! There, students will be able to learn about the competition teams, what it takes to build a competition robot, and what other students their ages are currently learning at our summer camps and after-school programs. While you visit, students will be led by our instructors who will aid them in building their own robots that they will be able to take home with them! As students build their robots, they will learn about how robots operate from the smallest of gears, to how circuits work and how tools like screwdrivers are safely used. Our goal is to help inspire students to start learning STEM and jumpstart their critical thinking skills. Depending on the ages of the students, the questions asked by our Roboteer staff will vary in difficulty and depth of explanation.
