Whale Watching in Blue Whale Season (May - Nov)

Fun outing with adult children

My whole family had a great time. We unfortunately didn't get to see any whales, but that is just luck of the draw. We, however, did see lots and I mean lots of dolphins. My grandchildren and we adults were happy just to see the dolphins. What magnificent creatures. We would surely take the tour again.

We were happy that we saw dolphins playing and racing along the boat, Whale was a disappointment though.

Wonderful trip. Didn't see any whales the first day so we got free 'reschedule' tickets and we went out the next day. Saw hundreds of dolphins and had a wonderful boat ride. Excellent value for the money and very friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend a trip.

We enjoyed our whale watching cruise but unfortunately did not see any whales. The person on the microphone commented that not only were there no whales but the wildlife in general seemed especially quiet. As avid whale watchers we appreciated that that's a chance you take when going whale watching but were disappointed nonetheless. We were given our tickets back. We live out of the area so not sure if we'll ever use our tickets but appreciated the gesture.

The boat was clean and not crowded. The crew was very nice and knowledgeable about whales in the area. The weather was beautiful and we had a wonderful time. We have already recommended this trip to several friends. Thank you to the crew for such a great trip and we will be back.

The crew was fun and enthusiastic and provided a great deal of insight into marine mammals. We saw a dozen blue whales, so it was an extraordinary afternoon of whale watching. Great experience.

I went with my mother, my 6 year old brother and my 76 year old grandfather. We all had a great time. Although we did not see a whale, we did see many dolphins. I loved the evening cruis at from 5pm-7pm. It was just long enough. The people on board are nice and friendly.

Gotta go, gotta see. Have fun!

let me get this out of the way: when my fiance exited the boat, the plate connecting the boat to the ramp kept lifting. One of the tour operators would step on the plate as each passenger exited instead of steadily standing on the thing. But his timing was less than perfect and my fiance's big toe got under the business end of this plate. Not broken it seems, but quite painful for a couple of days. If it had been a child's toe, the result would have been worse. Please fix this before someone truly gets hurt! As for the tour itself: wonderful! I'd like to say that it was a little kid who had the thrill of a lifetime seeing the blue whale surface 5 times.... but it was my fiance who had always wanted to see a blue whale and talked of little else every weekend after the recent local articles. Every year when the blue whales came to dana point, he'd want to see one. For years. This year... finally! The tour guide said it was one of the best sightings ever. I'd have been happy just with the dolphins! This weekend, our 7 year old niece wants to go. Thanks for a great tour!
