Whale and Dolphin Watching in Blue Whale Season

I took my family on this whale watching cruise not really knowing what to expect. The crew was very nice and accommodating. The boat was clean and nice. The captain and crew knew exactly where to go to find dolphins and boy did we see dolphins. The boat went right through a school of over a thousand dolphins. They were amazing to watch and unexpectedly quiet. While we were out we spotted a Fin Whale and later followed a California Grey Whale and her baby. My kids thought it was awesome. I was amazed. I would defiantly do this again!

Our experience was great!! We saw many dolphins, although we would have loved to have seen some whales. But this is something my kids and I will never forget.

It was a perfect day and the crew was enthusiastic. Only suggestion is to have real hot chocolate instead of the packets. Other than that, I thought it was a beautiful and fun trip. My neices enjoyed it very much.

The captain was great, knew a lot about the animals we saw. It was educational and perfect for my 6 year old and I. The captain made sure we had plenty of time with the dolphins, awesome experience.

I understand that whale sightings can't be guaranteed, but I knew it was going to be a slow day when they pulled up to the buoy to look at the sea lions. I get to see that on my kayak.... We did see a large group of dolphins, which was cool, but not quite what we were hoping for. My wife and kids enjoyed the trip which was the main thing. Like the website says: "Remember that sightings are guaranteed! If you don't see A GOOD SHOWING of whales or dolphin, you will get your ticket back and are invited to come out again with us! These "whale checks" never expire." Well, we did see a good showing of dolphins, but no whales...

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.

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.

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!
