| It was my 1st time going whale watching so I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately it was horrible! The catamaran was to un-steady it was hard to walk from one place to another specially with a drink in your hand. It was just not worth getting up and trying to get outside. It was just a bad experience one that wasn't worth what it cost. I didn't even get to see a whale which was made it worst, all I know is that I will never go on it again or recommended to anyone. |

| This is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a short getaway from the mundane weekend (or week day) activities. The boat size is nice, plenty of room, very clean. Back of the boat is prime real estate in my opinion, it's deep bench seating, so you can really stretch out. The only con to that is the chance you take in inhaling the exhaust from the engine. However; good weather conditions, combined with a nice breeze should knock that out.
I took the Mother's Day cruise, so the complimentary champagne with snacks were a perk. I don't know if that's customary for all the two hour cruises, it is however on the four hour; or so I've heard.
For locals such as myself, it truly makes you appreciate the beauty Southern California has to offer.
If you're someone who respects & appreciates natural beauty, or takes pleasure in the splendor ocean life has to offer: This is for you! |

| The reason I say disappointing is - the ad reads blue whale season begins in May. One of the first things the captain announced was, blue whale season begins in late May/early June. Perhaps you should change the dates to reflect this more accurately.
The catamaran ride was great though. |

| This has been one of the best local cruises’ I have taken in quite awhile! The staff was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the animals we came upon, which made it a great experience for the kids. On a more romantic note, the scenic views coupled with the fresh – ocean air made for an enjoyable trip for my friend, and me especially since I had a few extra bucks in my pocket due to the cruise being so affordable, sweet. |

| I had a really good time. We didn't see any whales but it was past the time of migration so to be expected. We saw sea lions up close, and tons of common dolphins, some bottle nose dolphins, and a lot of birds diving into the water. It was more than I expected, the dolphins were swimming so close to the boat and jumping out of the water. It was a lot of fun and worth the price (a lot cheaper than other places in the area). |

| This was a great two hour cruise with a great crew. The crew worked very hard at finding marine mammals to view. We found a large group of dolphins that were a great joy to view. |

| We went on the weekend because we were in town then and knew that a Marine Biologist was on board. She was extremely knowledgeable and the trip on a whole was very exciting. We saw a pod of about 500 dolphins and then were able to see a rare sighting of 2 humpback whales!! We stayed out longer than our allotted time because of a tip that whales were sighted. They asked everyone if we could stay out later and we all agreed and were pleased to see the whales. It was so worth it.
Fantastic!! |

| We saw 2 groups of dolphins on our trip, bottle nose dolphins that weren't as playful, and common dolphins that were more into the bow ridin :)
The marine biologist on our boat was very friendly and knowledgeable, answered all our questions.
I know the group tried to find some whales, but we were out of luck. Still, very enjoyable trip and would highly recommend it to others. |
