| It was a great day at sea! We went on the 5pm trip and saw dolphins and sea lions. We didn't see any blue whales, but the trip was still awesome because it is well worth just the boat ride alone. You can move around the boat at your leisure (we were on the Sum Fun and it was not crowded) and if you stand at the bow you can get splashed with water. I would go back for a gray whale expedition in the winter.
I would highly recommend this trip for vacationers and locals alike. We could see Saddleback Mountain. The only area for improvement might be for the Captain and Skipper to give more information on points of interest along the shoreline as the boat heads back to shore. |

| It was fantastic!! The boat ride was wonderful as was the crew. We were able to see 2 different types of dolphins and sea lions. Even though we didn't see any whales it didn't matter. The dolphins put on a great show!! The whole trip was relaxing and exciting. I would totally recommend this trip to anyone and can't wait to go again. |

| We didn't see any whales but we saw a pod of dolphins that were very playful and interactive with the boat. It was quite a sight! The ride was very smooth, no one in our party got sea sick :) The crew was very informative and made me feel quite safe. We would take this adventure again someday. |

| I was on the Clemente. The boat left promptly. The captain was very informative, humerous and obviuosly likes what he does. He took us out 8 miles and we saw the most amazing whale! He gave us a lot of knowledge of whales and I learned so much. Then he extended our trip so we could see a pod of dolphins. He really went out of his way to show us a really good time. I highly recommend Ocean Adventure Cruises, provided by DanaWharf. |

Don't call it a "whale watching" cruise

| It was supposed to be a "whale watching" cruise, but we didn't see any whales. We saw dolphins, but they don't justify the $30 price tag. We should have gotten a refund, in my opinion. |

| On the basis of earlier reviews, we expected to see quite a few animals but in the event all we saw after one and a half hour were some common dolfins.Clearly, this is not a good season to go on this tour. |

| We took the Whale and Dolphin cruise at 5pm for my son's fifth birthday.
I have never seen so many dolphins in my life. It was surreal. We all loved it.
Thank you! |

| We had a great time on what seemed to be a brand new boat and, most important, got to see two blue whales and a fin whale. The captain had wasted no time taking us out to the area the blues were frequenting as this was the creature we all wanted to see. It was an unforgettable experience, seeing the world's largest living creatures |
