We saw a blue whale!!

I brought my daughter and two of her friends along to see if we could spot any whales. None of us have ever seen a whale before. About 4 miles out, we were delighted to see a blue whale. He/she was a magnificent creature and it was wonderful to watch the whale come up every 3-5 minutes and exhale from his blowholes. He was approximately 85 feet long (per the Captain) and it was hard to imagine that if he dove down too fast, he could hit the bottom since the water was only 240 feet deep. The crew were friendly and shared their knowledge of baleen whales, which was a great learning experience for the kids. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to any one.

Blown away by the experience

First, the crew was friendly, conversational, and knowledgable. We left the harbor and they explained the process they would go through to find whales. On three different occasions we ran in to dolphins but the whales. First we saw and followed a blue whale. While waiting for the blue whale to surface a minke whale crossed our bow. After numerous close sitings of the blue whale we headed in only to cross paths with either a large minke whale (or more likley a fin whale). What a day - we may have been lucky that day but the crew added to the experience - I highly recommend it.

I am from Laguna Niguel and had my friends in from Chicago and Detroit. We did the Whale Watching Cruise and saw an 80' blue whale, the smallest whale (can't remember the name), sea lions and schools of dolphins. It was a fabulous day and the crew was wonderful.

I went on the 2:00 catamaran whale watching cruise last Saturday (July 24th) and it was AWESOME!!! The men running the boat were knowledgeable and friendly. We were super lucky and saw a blue whale, a minke whale, a huge pod of dolphins, a sun fish, and of course sea lions. The captain of the ship said it was VERY special to have seen all that we did, and that normally they don't see so much. Overall, it was a wonderful time for the whole family. We plan on making it an annual trip!

Fun trip!

We really enjoyed our whale-watching trip, even if we didn't find any whales. We did see hundreds of common dolphins, which were very exciting to watch. The new catamaran was beautiful, and allowed for very close viewing of the dolphins. The crew was very informative and nice, making for a nice overall experience. We will definitely be back to try and see Blue Whales again!

I reccommend this for anyone! My husband and I went on this cruise for our 1 year anniversary. We both thought it was awesome! We were surrounded by 500-1,000 common dolphins! They were playing with the bow of the boat they were jumping all around us and we even saw several mamas with their babies! If you get a chance to go on this cruise do it! We loved it! It was AWESOME! Deffinetly worth the money!!! And the crew was great!
