Newport Seal Tours
Join us aboard one of our education vessels as we motor through historic Newport Harbor and observe seals at Citing Rock—and learn a bit of history along the way! One-hour Seal Tours and two-hour Seal & Lighthouse Tours (complete with a stop on Rose Island) run all season long!
And, if you’re seeking a longer adventure, our two-hour Seal and Lighthouse Tour combines all the excitement of our traditional seal tours with the adventure that comes with a visit to the historic Rose Island Lighthouse. Get ready to disembark on the island to explore the site and experience the history firsthand.
