| We decided to do this on the spur of the moment. We didn't have luck in finding either dolphins or whales, but the management was nice enough to give us a free return visit and also 10% Off coupons for up to 8 more tickets. Overall it was a nice boat ride in the ocean on a beautiful Southern California Day. |

Can't wait to do it again!

| The boat was OK, but some chairs or places to sit on the deck would have been nice. We tried to sit downstairs but could not see through the windows and could not hear the loudspeaker. We enjoyed seeing a few sea lions and a pod of dolphins, but really disappointed not to see a whale. We had read in the promotion that this was an especially good time to see blue whates, but when checked in, we were told they hadn't seen a whale in a week. Crew was courteous, and we didn't have any problems with the tour. |

| The trip started on time, the crew were friendly and helpful, the day was beautiful, seas were clam, and the food was good (thank heavens that we don't ever get sea sick). We didn't get to see any whales but it's only the beginning of one season and the ending of another, but the Captain found a large pod of dolphins and took us to the center and we got to enjoy their play (sometimes right under the bow of the ship)...what a wonderful experience. The Captain also educated us about what we encountered along the way. Thanks much. |

| We spend Thanksgiving with family each year in San Clemente. This was the first time we took this 'field trip' and had a blast. We had a group of 20 on the trip. We will now include this in our annual Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for a great trip! The snack bar was also a plus as we had our newly born grandson with us so he could stay snuggled up inside and my daughter could still enjoy the view outside and not feel cooped up. Your staff was also very helpful and friendly. Thanks again and see you next year. |

| They didn't tell me that we were not going to see any whales....thought they had them reserved for our viewing....NOT.....even though we didn't see any whales, a pod of dolphin were there for us to enjoy. Well maintained vessel, polite and helpful crew, easy to find location, a good all-around time....now, if they can just get the whales to cooperate......honestly, worth the time and enjoyed the trip. |

| We didn't see any whales. We didn't really know what to watch for really. But we were out there on a beautiful day and had a great time even without the whales. DanaPoint is a very romantic place to visit and the whale watching tour with or without whales is very romantic too. Thanks Dana Wharf! |

| It would have been more fun to see a whale. But the playful dolphins made up for the disappointment of no whales. |

| Unfortunately, we didn't see whales or dolphins. Even though not guaranteed, the crew gave us coupons for $10/per for future ticket purchases. Very nice, and we intend to use them during the Grey whale season. We did enjoy the boat ride in spite of the lack of sightings. |
