Spectacular Trip!

We cannot stop talking about our whale watching trip! The boat was nice, not too crowded, the crew was wonderful and the trip itself was something to remember. We took our 3 year old son out and he had a blast! He got a great spot right up front where he could see everything. The crew had seen a whale on their previous trip out so they took us immediately to that same spot. We were lucky -- the whale was still there! We followed a huge blue whale for an hour. We were so close and got the most amazing pictures. The crew was great about telling us all about the whale and let us know exactly when and where to watch for it. Incredible experience! We will go again! Remember to take jackets, though. It's much colder on the water!

not really a whale watch.....good dolphin adventure.....good narration for them..I..would have like to know the frequency of a chance to see a whale or whales instead of " the capt worked real hard to find one yesterday".......or as we turned for port we were told " now we will go back and see the whale the capt spotted "..........which was really never brought up again as we returned to port with no further mention of any whale s.........i realize these sittings are hit and miss from other whale watch trips i have been on. clean boat,really courteous crew.

LOVED IT! We saw a Blue Whale!

This trip is the best! In a 2 hour tour, we not only saw a superpod of dolphins with their babies, but we also saw a Blue Whale! The crew was eager to cover a lot of ground so the group could get the most out of the day. The catamaran is very comfortable, and allows for a smooth FAST cruise to all of our destinations. They were very lively and interactive. Great trip! We felt bad at the end of the trip though as they passed around a tip jar and we did not have any cash on us. The crew was worth it. Enjoy!

Had a great time

We had a lovely time. Great weather, great boat. Didn't see whales, unfortunately, but saw hundreds, if not thousands, of dolphins (both bottlenose and common) up close. It was AMAZING and well worth the trip, even without the whales.

A lot of fun

I didn't know what to expect but I was very surprised by the trip. Even though there is no guarantee that you'll find a blue whale, the boat captains did a wonderful job scouring every part of the sea to find one. We ended up finding a lot of common dolphins, a sunfish and a blue whale. It was an informative, fun cruise that I would highly recommend. You come away with a greater sense of sea life and how close they are to Orange County. I'm glad I went on the trip because I came away with some awesome photos and video footage that I will always treasure.
