Although we live in So. California, we had not gone whale-watching in 10 years. My son was only 5 months old the last time we went!
He was so amazed and excited that we actually saw a whale and it was fairly close! We heard the group before saw dolphins but we were happy with the whale. |

We drove from LA and it took us much longer than we thought to arrive. We called to postpone our reservations as we were stuck in traffic. The staff gladly accomodated our request and rescheduled for a later time for us. Thank you. |

We did not see any whales, but did see a rather large pod of dolphins. The ride and just being on the boat was relaxing and they really do guarantee that you will see either whales or dolphins or you get to use your tickets again for a future trip. Really nice crew, as well, and a surprisingly filled galley food selection. |

Two funny and healthy hours! Reccomended! |

Staff is friendly and it's very exciting seeing dolphins swimming and playing around the boat. Remember your camera, you will also have the chance to take lots of nice shoots. |
|
Lovely boat ride, but no whales |

Considering that the tour is called Whale Watching I obviously expected to see some whales, but I didn't see any at all. But I enjoy boat rides and so I really liked being on the boat on a sunny day with nothing to do, but to sit and enjoy the view. |

It was a beautiful day for a boatride. |

It was a beautiful day for a boatride. Alas, we only saw a bit of a whale from a long distance away. It was apparent that your crew was trying very hard to find a whale for us. I appreciate your policy of a "whale check" when we aren't able to find any whales. We were with some people from Ohio who had never been on a boat so we had a lovely time and the whales would have been an exciting bonus. |

Very nice experience... |

OK, all we saw were two sea lions and no whales or dolphins, but that wasn't anybody's fault. Plus we got a pass to go out again for free.
The captain and crew of our boat were great. The captain tried several different areas and kept us informed. He was very personable and genuinely sorry we didn't see a whale (although we did see a couple "spouts").
The boat was clean and the galley had reasonable prices. |

Dana Wharf Whale Watching trip was ok. No whales found but not to fault the company. They captain could have given a narrative on other sea life in the area or local interesting facts on residents of interest. Something other than "remember folks, these animals are wild and cannot come on command...you must go to Sea World for that". I mean how dumb do you think we are. I found that to be condensending and unneccessary. It would be nice to know whale facts, trivia, and perhaps feel a whale tooth or bone or something. I did get a rain check but will I go back? Only for the pure curiosity of seeing a whale. |

No whales but lots of dolphins |

We didn't see any whales, but were lucky to meet large pods of dolphins.
The boat was nice, and since we had read reviews on Zerve before the trip we didn't set ourselves up to see whales.
One thing that I would have liked though was a note on how we could have gotten another trip since we didn't see any whales. We only thought about that several days after the trip. |
