| My husband & daughter took me on the whale watching cruise as a surprise b'day gift. It truly was a gift I will always remember. We did not get to see any whales that day; however, it was worth the trip just to see the thousands of dolphins we were able to witness in their natural habitat! We found 2 different pods of dolphins & I will never forget the sight of the ocean literally filled with them swimming, jumping & coming up along side the boat! To make the trip even better, it was a beautiful day temp-wise...sunny, clear & warm! Then we saw some sea lions sunning on top of a buoy on the way back in to the harbor. Great day had by all! |

| It was a 3-hour whale watching expedition. The captain went out of his way, we thought, to locate pods of dolphins as well as remained attuned to whale sightings. He extended the expedition by half an hour or more after discovering a whale, about the time that we would have headed back to shore, and taking us to it.
Kudos! |

| I took my parents for a whale watching trip during their visit from Michigan. Though we didn't see any whales, the team found a HUGE pod of dolphins and we stayed with them for about 30 minutes. The group on board was thrilled and the crew and naturalist were great. Everyone from the phone rep when I made the initial call to the office staff and crew were helpful and very friendly. I'd definitely go again. |

| The boat was great - big, clean, bathrooms were handy and the food/drink area was easy to get to. There was plenty of shaded area inside with a full view. No matter where you were on the boat, you had a full view.
The crew was incredibly nice and helpful.
We didn't see any whales, but did run into a pod of about a thousand dolphins, and we spent, I think, about half an hour running with them. They were everywhere - as far as you could see, and right next to the boat so you could see them clearly. Once in a while one would jump way out of the water and do a big flip, and you'd hear a big oooooh! from the people on the side of the boat that saw it. That was an amazing experience, so incredible you have to see it to believe it!
The only problem I had (and I expect this to be remedied soon) was that even though online it said there was a bar, they didn't have their liquor license yet, and the food was limited to chips and candy. But, like I said, it was a new boat and I think they'll probably take care of that.
There were only 15 sightseers on the boat, and they were all really nice, so even though I was alone, I didn't feel out of place.
I have family coming soon and will definitely put this outing on our schedule. |

| The weather was gorgeous, the trip was awesome. Unfortunately we did not see the whales, but it was worth to go on the trip anyway. We were blessed to see a big pod of dolphins, a sunfish, and family of seals. Thank you very much for unforgettable experience. Nadia and Michael. |

| This 3 Hour Cruise on board a much newer and very different boat offered a variety of benefits:
1. Longer opportunity to see marine life
2, Large flat screens inside to watch underwater activity in bad weather
3. VERY knowledgable Naturalist with a Master's Degree full of information
4. Although no gray whales were to be found, we were in the middle of a very large group (HUNDREDS) of dolphins who were playful and curious...absolutely amazing!
5. Saw several sunfish for the first time in our lives and great sea lions
6. Bonus of beautiful weather didn't hurt either! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! |

| This was the best whale watching trip I had ever been on. We saw 2 whales within the first half hour. We played with hundreds of dolphins. The crew was helpful and professional. What made this trip so outstanding was having Morgan, a naturalist on board. She answered all of our questions and gave us so much useful information that we all actually had a much better understanding of what we were seeing in the ocean. |

| We went out on Thursday May 1, 2008 at 1 pm.. There was only one other couple, so we had the boat basically to ourselves. Unfortunately we saw no whales or dolphins, and our schedule did not allow us to return for another trip out, so we didn't ask for a voucher for a future trip. (We did see sealions.)
The catamaran was immaculate and the crew was very helpful- they helped me back to an area of the boat that was calmer when they saw I was looking a little seasick. The view of the coastline was beautiful, and it was a gorgeous day for a trip on the water. |

| The trip was a lot of fun. My kids loves the trip as well. As a matter of fact they want to do it again. All the staff including the captain was so friendly, you can feel they are trying to do their best to make their customers happy and satisfied. It was a lucky day too, we saw Mola-mola the first time, Dolphins in the wild and Gray whales and different kinds of sea birds. My kids never stops talking about the trip until now, and definitely this is a sea adventure trip you and your family don't want to miss. Highly recommended. Thanks guys. |
