Catamaran Adventure Whale Watching Cruises

Robin our guide and Lucky the Captain are fantastic!!! I would recommend this adventure to all I know!!

The tour was great, though we didn't see any whales (can't blame them). However, we did see a ton of dolphins (two species), one of the groups was a megapod with hundreds in all directions. They were swimming with the boat and doing tricks without any fish or anything else from the boat. All natural. The naturalist was very informative and nice and the captain was great at spotting animals. The boat wasn't crowded and the length of the tour was not too long and not too short. The tickets were also moderately priced.

Although we didn't see any whales, we did see two species of dolphins and some sea lions. It was a great time!

Maybe it was just a lucky day for us, but within a half-hour of leaving the dock we happened upon two blue whales and followed them around for the better part of two hours as they dived and re-surfaced. The Captain did an excellent job of tracking them. On our way back to port we took a loop through a school of dolphins who raced along with the boat, jumping out of the water as they swam along. It was quite a thrill.

I am local to Dana Point area and have been thinking about visiting the whale watch cruise for quite sometime, until recently. My in-laws were visiting us from abroad and I decided this trip would be cool one. Yes in deed, it turned out to be very nice trip after all. Since we went on weekday, there wasn't much crowd in the boat(at 15-20). The captain took us to the area where whale sightings have been reported that day. On the way there, we saw thousands of dolphins and its really cool to watch them show-off their skills in front of the crusie. Captain was very well knowledgeble on the whale location and was quick in turning the boat around to get closer to the whales. We spotted about 6 whales that dy in a span 0f 45 minutes. Great time and very relaxed atmosphere. Will surely take my brother and family from the east coase, again in August.

We had a good time on our cruise. The boat was clean and staff was friendly. Since we went out on a weekend a marine biologist was on board. She started us off with some basic but informative facts about the species we might see. Unfortunately we didn't spot a whale but we did see quite a few bottle nosed dolphins. The crew was able to spot them and then keep them engaged so we'd have more time to see them and take photos. I have no complaints about this company or cruise. I think it was a good value for the money and certainly something out of the ordinary to do on vacation.

Several species of Dolphin were out en masse the day of our trip.

I loved it, Morgan the Marine Biologist, the Catamaran, I was able to relax, I even took my shoes off. Everyone was respectful, helpful and polite. I did not want to come back to shore. Thank you to all the employees for making it so wonderful. I had to hold back tears when the dolphins were right at the front of the Catamaran riding along with us. It was a dream, that I always wanted to experience.

We took my 8 year old daughter and mother (who was visiting from the East coast) on a 2.5 hour whale watching trip on 6/27. The catamaran was ideal for the trip - lots of deck space, very clean, etc. They only take a small group on each of these trips, so there was plenty of room for everyone, and it wasn't crowded at all. The crew was fantastic - very helpful and friendly, and eager to make sure everyone had a great time. We saw a HUGE pod of common dolphins pretty much right away, and then the crew got a tip on a fin whale and we took off to try and find it. Which we did! We stayed near it for a while (saw it come up 3 times), and although bobbing around in the not-so-still water was a little tough on some stomachs, it was worth it to see such a magnificent sight. The company doesn't guarantee that trips will see whales each time, but they certainly seemed to try hard to make it happen. We will DEFINITELY be going back out with them again soon!

I took my son and 2 other kids from our youth group at church. we had a ball. The kids learned alot. the captain was very informative. and made sure that we were able to get great picks of the Whales and dolphins. The boat wasn't to crowded so there was plenty of places to view everything. Great and memorible trip.
