| We did not get to see any whales, just three dolphins. But the company gave us our tickets back and they are now good to be used again. Hopefully we will get to see a little more next time. It was still a nice cruise and the crew is very nice and helpful too. |

| My children and I had a lot of fun on the cruise. We were initially very excited because we heard that the earlier cruises had spotted whales, so we thought we had a good chance. It was not to be; but, there was a pod of dolphins that were a lot of fun. The kids and I enjoyed the beautiful weather and being out on the water. |

| We enjoyed the cruise as it was a beautiful day. We were disappointed that we
did not see any whales but we did see seals and dolphins. We feel we might have
been better to take a morning cruise rather than the 2 p.m. cruise. The company was
very generous in allowing people to stay on board for a second cruise to see if that
cruise would see any whales. Earlier cruises that day saw whales. |

| It was unfortunate that although we had spectacularly blue skies, plus an enthusiastic group of strangers who became friends on board, we saw not one wee bit of the many whales who we heard were traveling through the area. At the very end we saw a small school of playful dolphins who were fun & fast to watch but they were not the gray whales we'd been hoping to see.
It was particularly upsetting that the people on the 12 noon cruise had seen whales and we had not AND that there was no offer of a ticket for another day, because, if you see at least dolphins, although this is a whale watching cruise, then it counts as having seen "something".
It was nice to be outside on the water, but it was not what we paid for. |

| This was a fantastic trip. The boat was beautiful and comfortable and the crew was very professional and knowledgable. We saw 6 whales with the first one spotted within 5 minutes of leaving the dock. A great time was had by all! |

| Our group consisted of my parents and my aunt, from San Antonio, TX, and I, I currently live in Mission Viejo, CA. We were hoping to see a whale. Were very excited because we saw several whales and I got a great picture of one whale tail flipping out of the water. We have raved to everyone. |

| This was a last minute excursion for us, and are we glad we went!!! We had a group of 4 whales that we were along side of for about an hour. We had to leave them because our time was up!! The crew did a great job alerting us from above when the whales were going to surface, so we were able to get some great pictures/video! The crew seemed as excited as we were. We had a great time and will remember and recommend this experience. To top it off, our son filled out the raffle card and won 2 free return passes, so we will definitely be back or share this experience with someone else! |

| Despite getting sea sick, it was a great trip in all. The boat had plenty of space to move around and left almost right on time. The crew was very helpful with pointing out where the whales were located and made it a point to say it was ok to throw up over the side of the boat. I was afraid to get sick because I didn't want to cause a disturbance but once they said it was ok I felt a lot better. I would recommend whale watching to everyone from this group. But we were lucky to see 4 whales that day. |
