Nice boat ride
Sun, Apr 19  12:00 PM ahallgren Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the boat ride. The staff was great, attentive. We thought the cost of the activity was reasonable but were dissapointed that we didn't see any whales or dolphins. So it was basically just a ride out on the ocean. We did get rain check or "whale" check tickets to use at another time but that's hard when you have guests visiting from out of town. We will try using the tickets next year and maybe try to go out in March instead of April.

we had a great time. we didn't see any whales, but we saw an amazing school of dolphins jumping...hundreds all around us. even if we hadn't seen the dolphins i would still have given a positive response. the crew was friendly..the food was good...better than i would expect on a short boat trip. i will highly recommend you guys to friends and family. thanks, john mcgovern

Great Crew
Sat, Apr 18  6:30 AM asakai Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
My son was celebrating his 12th b-day and as a tradition he chooses what he would like to do on his b-day with me (dad). He always chooses fishing. The weather was wonderful, but the fish weren't biting but the crew and captain were excellent and my son and I had a great time. It's all about building memories and our experience with Dana Sportfishing has always given us good ones even when the fish don't bite.

Beautiful experience!
Fri, Apr 17  12:00 PM trishkeenan Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We really had a great time! The ocean was calm and the sky was blue. Since we only got to see just a few dolphins, seal and otters (and unfortunately no whales), the crew extended their 'whale check' so all of us received a return trip..... we would be back regardless. The crew was great (and provided a lot of interesting fish facts to the guests) .... the boat was pristine (even the bathrooms). Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

I've lived in California all my life until 1993 then moved to Oklahoma. Took some friends and 2 teenage kids and all of us enjoyed this very much. We saw female Humpback whale with Calf. Plus we saw Sea Lions. Was a great adventure and next time we return to California, we will sure go again. Also have told friends and relatives about your tours. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Can't wait to return
Tue, Apr 14  12:00 PM TD21Spurs Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
First time ever going whale watching and we had a lot of fun. We didn't see any whales or dolphins but we seen a group of sea lions. Due to the fact that we didn't see any whales or dolphins we were given tickets to return for another visit and they don't expire. It was a great deal. We had so much fun we can't wait to go back!

A fun day trip
Tue, Apr 14  10:00 AM jillbarrera Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took our three children, ages 14, 12, and 10 on the 1/2 day fishing trip. We went on 1/2 day Tuesday to save a little money ($19.95 each), also had to pay about $13 each for rod & reel, and anyone over 16 needs a fishing license for about $14. The weather was chilly, so glad that we wore long pants and had sweatshirts on. The boat was a little rough, and our youngest got sick. Should have taken dramamine. The crew was very friendly and helpful and gave us simple lessons, helped us bait our hooks in the beginning, and took our fish off the hook. For those who wanted to take their fish home, the crew also filleted the fish. It seemed as though most people caught at least one fish. There was quite a variety - one man even caught a small octopus. Our family caught a total of 7 fish, but threw them all back. They had food available in the galley - breakfast burritos in the a.m., and burgers at lunchtime. I thought it was reasonably priced. We all had a burger, and they were great! You can also bring your own food on the boat, but no alcohol. They do sell beer on the boat. We all had a fun time, and were happy that we caught some fish. glad that we only did the half day trip, as it was even a little long for the kids.

Great activity - worth the money.
Tue, Apr 14  10:00 AM allanalexand Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
Trustworthy business offering great value for the money. We did not see Whales, but the migration was pretty much finished by the time we took the trip. It was not the fault of the tour. Otherwise, the trip was fantastic, and they did a good job getting us the pass which converts to tickets at the Dana Point activity (whale watching). Have fun!

No whales, but...
Sun, Apr 12  1:00 PM muddyh20 Female 60-69 Combination Couple on a Date
the pod of dolphins we encountered was a lot of fun. I would suggest that the crew prohibit cigar smoking on the cruise. A few people got a little 'green' - not from the cruise, but from the inconsiderate passenger smoking a nasty cigar.

Fantastic Experience
Sun, Apr 12  10:00 AM CecileKay Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family had the most wonderful time on this cruise. The boat is spacious, clean, and beautiful. It has ample seating with large tables to relax both inside and outside. There are three levels to it, making it interesting to move about the boat and experience the cruise from different perspectives. They have a very nice food service on board at reasonable prices in case you didn't bring your own. The three men in the crew are friendly, informative, and delightful. We saw sea lions and a huge pod of dolphins which were thrilling to watch as they swam and jumped all around us. We didn't see any whales but honestly it didn't matter because the whole experience was marvelous with the dolphins and everything else I mentioned. Apparently dolphins are part of the whale family, so technically we got what we paid for. The best money we spent on our California vacation!!!!
