We've been out twice with this company and both times only seen DOLPHINS. However, it was great weather the day we went and we had a nice time. Still no whales.... |

Wonderful Time! |

After two weeks of stormy, cold weather, and very rough seas the skies were clear, temperatures were in the low 70s and the Pacific was like glass! After much anticipation, we departed the harbor in search of sea life and we were not disappointed! A lone seal was in the harbor, pelicans were on the jetty and not long after leaving port, we spotted the first of several gray whales. We followed the whales up the coastline until it was time to turn back. Several Pacific Bottlenosed Dolphis were sited as was lone sea lion sunning himself on a bouy. We had a FABULOUS time and will go out again if we're ever in California! |

Thanks to the Captain and the crew, the trip was safe and fun. We saw the whales backs but didn't get to see their tails coming out of the water. It was calm weather, calm waters, and most everyone had fun. |

Highly reccommend the whale watching out of Dana Point. Crew are always professional and helpful, and trips have always found something... whales or dolphins. |

Enjoyable |

It was a perfect day weather wise and we took the first trip out in the morning so the sea was calm. Although we had been looking forward to seeing the whales and did not, we were fortunate to see a very large pod of Common Dolphin which made the trip worth while.
I would recommend the experience. |

We were disappointed that we didn't see any whales, but the beautiful dolphins more than made up for that. Thanks. |

Captain did report that the grey whales were less frequent in that week in February, but only when we finally saw whales after looking for 1 and a half hours. In fact, they were closer in to shore and sailboats surrounded them, preventing us from getting closer. Their return to the north apparently starts in a weeks' time, so I just mistimed my visit. |

Basically a cattle boat with little interaction with staff. Ordinary, nothing bad or really good. Nice boat ride. You may want to spend more money and go with someone who has a better feel for whales. |

Amazing! |

This was an incredible trip. We ended up in the middle of a pod of dophins. They were playing with the boat we were on. Jumping out of the water and swimming all around us. Absoulutly glorious. The captain kept us out there as long as he could, it was great! The captain and crew were very informative and accomodating. I would highly recommend this trip. I know we will be going again. |
