A thoroughly enjoyable adventure!

I needed an activity for 2 grandsons, ages 11 & 13 and myself; something that didn't entail tramping around in the summer heat. I googled Dana Point not knowing what I might find. The whale watching seemed like a great idea, and so it turned out to be. All 3 of us loved it, and were thrilled at seeing the dolphins, and of course the Blue whale. I'd like to take the trip again, to see if I can improve my camera skills on a fast moving catamaran. A thumbs up on this activity!!!

WE didn't seen any whales but still had a good time. We really enjoyed all the dolphins. We took lots of pictures and many of the dolphins turned out great. Would certainly recommend this trip to friends. Having the half price certalnly helped with out large group. Thank you so much. Also my son in law took his son (11) on the sportfishing cruise. They both had a wonderful time. Our grand son had a 3 foot barracuda up to the boat and the staff helping him trying to hook the barracuda, broke the line instead. Another story of the one who got away!

It was great. We were showing a relative from Germany the California coast and decided to see some whales and we did. Also, hundreds maybe even thousands of dolphins. Neat stuff. The crew was great and informative. Very enjoyable experience!!

The captain went out of the standard 7 mile zone to show us the only Blue whale in the area and it was worth it! I have been on whale watching boats on the east coast and Hawaii and this trip was by far the best. I also enjoyed the dolphins cavorting around the boat. I have recommended this trip to others and plan to go another trip when the whales are "in town".

The captain was very knowledgeable and passed on to us a lot of information about the sealife. It was a smooth ride and was fun when he speeded up to get further out to sea. (8 miles) Weather was beautiful. We only saw dolphins and some sun fish but enjoyed it anyway. It was good customer service to give us 1/2 price passes for the next time we want to go. I greatly recommend this outing.

Enjoyed seeing the dolphins and whales. Only complaint I have is that in the brochure it says sr price $40 and when I called and asked for a sr discount I was told that you have none and I pd $45 each. I feel I am intitled to a $10 refund. thanks Linda

Southern California summertime, on the ocean, beautfiul day, who could ask for more? Even though we didn't see any whales (spent quite a while trailing a pod of dolphins and we did get a "whale check" for another trip, it was a great excursion. The glass of wine at Wind and Sea capped off an enjoyable afternoon

Besides the great experience on the catamaran and seeing these amazing, beautiful whales I learned a lot too. I cannot recommend this enough, I have shared my pictures and experience with everyone. Am I going again, absolutely!!!!
