| the staff and the people were all very friendly and the boat ride was nice and relaxing, but we didn't see anything except some seals on a buoy. however, we did get free tickets to go again next time. i can't quite formulate a decent opinion until i see something on the next trip! |

Don't expect to see whales

| If you are planning for a boat ride or dolphin/ sea lion watching, then go ahead. Else, forget about this trip. Keep sailing around the island and no efforts made attempts to search for whales. |

Excellant adventure

| The whole family had a good time on this trip. We had two 4 yr olds so we were a bit worried about how they would do and it all went fine. I think however that about 90 min into the 2 hr trip both girls started to feel some motion sickness. We had brought crackers and juice with us along with other snacks and that seemed to settle their stomachs. We saw two whales and a huge school of dolphins as well as some sea lions. Boat personnel were very nice and it all went well.
There are tables and benchs on top of the boat so if you want that, get in line early to get first dibs. Also if you want a good spot at the front of the boat.
Set your camera on telephoto and sports speed. |

| It was a clean boat...even the restroom was clean---thank you!
The captain gave information on the wildlife we saw, which was great and kept us updated on the plan of action. It's good to be informed and not just drifting and wondering.
The cashier in the shop on land was very friendly and the entire process was very organized.
I highly recommend this trip! |

| We got lucky and had good weather. The crew was very polite and the boat was very clean. Probably the best price out there for the trip. |

| This is the second time we chose Dana Wharf and, again, we had a great time. Apart from the sea lions and hundreds of common dolphins, we observed a pair of California gray whales swimming South. The crew is very knowledgeable and they are working really diligently to find whales. We went on this trip last January (with kids) and found whales, too. Highly recommended.
BTW If you are going on an early (10am) trip bring your coffee. Most coffee shops are closed and the one that is open charges almost $4 for a cup of so-so coffee. |

| The weather resulted in choppy waves so if you happen to get splashed upon and then have to deal with the wind, it can be cold, wet, and miserable roller coaster of a ride as we witnessed others suffering during the outing.
Everything else worked out great. No whales this trip, but plenty of other marine life was viewed out in the wild. The evening outing allowed for a beautiful sunset view on the return. Will do it again during the gray whale season. |
