Metrolink makes it easy to get to the Festival of Whales. Ride Metrolink to San Juan Capistrano station, then take OCTA Bus Route 91 South to Dana Point and you’re there. Or take your bike onboard the train and ride to Dana Point. Every Metrolink car accommodates bikes. Or, look for one of Metrolink’s special bicycle cars marked with large yellow “Bicycle Car” signs and take your bike onboard. Ride to the San Juan Capistrano station and then hop on your bike and ride the bikeway to Dana Point and the festival.
When you disembark at the Coast Highway bus stop adjacent to Doheny State Park you are able to walk along the green barrier fencing (note signage to park entrance) into the park and then across the parking lot to the FREE Festival shuttle stop. This stop is serviced approximately every 15 minutes. While you’re there be sure to take in the brand new Whale Walk!
