Join Harbor Breeze Cruises for an educational, fully narrated two and one half hour Whale Watching cruise where we will search for Pacific Blue or Gray Whales (depending on the season) migrating from Alaska to the warm Mexican waters and back again. During the Pacific Ocean and the whale watching cruise you may also see the varied examples of our local marine life, including harbor seals, pelicans, sea gulls, cormorants, and occasionally dolphins. Immediately offshore, you値l see the oil islands, the world痴 longest breakwater and all the historic and geologic shore features that make up our Long Beach shoreline. This is a great educational trip for all ages.
In addition to all the sites and sounds of the forty-five minute cruise (see below), you値l cruise completely around Terminal Island, the largest manmade island in the world. You値l see the Ports O辰all waterfront, Angels Gate lighthouse, Terminal Island federal prison, massive dry docks, container terminals, the Los Angeles City Fire Boat station and cruise under the Vincent Thomas suspension bridge.
This 45 minute cruise highlights the presence of international trade. Ocean carriers and shippers from all corners of the globe come to the port to move cargo into and out of the United States. Beef from Kansas, bananas from Ecuador, perfume from France, cotton from California and electronics from Japan are just a few of the $80 billion worth of cargo passing through the port each year. You will see state of the art terminals capable of accommodating a mega ship that is longer than three football fields and wider than the Panama Canal. You値l see tall gantry cranes that look like they came from a Star Wars movie capable of lifting 50 tons of cargo. You値l learn how port pilots safely guide ships into and out of the port and how the port eliminates more than 400,000 truck trips per year with on dock rail yards. Long Beach is also the only seaport to export to outer space.
