pleasant but long

It took a while for the boat to get out to where we could see whales. The kids that i had with me age 3 and two aged 8 had gotten really bored with waiting as we didnt see any whales until the tour was almost over. Be sure to bring snacks and water, if not they are sold inside the cabin on the boat. which by the way you cannot see whales through because people crowd in front of the windows on the deck when a whale is seen. Bring a sweater and a jacket. There is a big temperature difference the farther you go out into the ocean especially if there is a breeze. I recommend this trip if you have the patience and older children.

Peaceful Journey
Tue, Apr 7, 09   12:00 PM lkmchugh Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I suggest going on this cruise during the morning hours. We went at 12:00 noon and most of the 2 hours were spent sailing along the sea looking at birds. We did finally spot a grey whale on our way back to shore. It was an awesome sight, as he surfaced several times. We would have liked to see dolphins too, but we didn't. Having gone on a morning cruise in Dana Pt. before, I know the dolphins are more abundant during the morning hours. The nice thing about this cruise line is that if you don't see any dolphins or whales on your cruise, they will issue you a ticket to come again.

We had a great time, and we had a once in life time experience when a grey whale jumped out of the water, IT TRUELY WAS AMAZING, and with the pictures to prove it.

Enjoyed the time on the ocean
Tue, Apr 7, 09   10:00 AM ekight Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The staff was great. The boat was great. Enjoyed chasing the dolphins around and around. Enjoyed hearing about dolphins. Staff estremely helped. Loved the grilled cheese sandwich. Have done it several times and don't care if we see the whales or not - the dolphins are a fun to watch. It is relaxing sitting inside if you do not want to stay outside.

Easy to buy the tickets, the boarding process is quick and efficient. the boat crew were friendly and the weather was great. Now if only the fish would have cooperated but overall it was fun and enjoyable. We plan on goin again.

No Whales but lots and lots of dolphins
Tue, Apr 7, 09   10:00 AM tazchick Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
Since we were with little ones who at this point are into dolphins, whales and sea lions it was great. We saw lots and lots of dolphins which made the trip worth while. My only complaint was we left the dock almost 10 minutes late and arrived back a few minutes early if not on time. We saw no whales but will definately go back again. For those who like to eat: I heard the burgers were really really good!!!!

We had first time visitors with us to Ca. and they loved the trip. We saw dolphins and a grey whale, that fluked several times. Our captain was a great narrator with some interesting facts. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Well worth the time and money

Nice boat, friendly and accommodating staff. Got to see one Minke whale and some dolphins, including babies. Beautiful weather and spectacular view of coast on trip. Two pointers: 1) Book on weekends because they have a marine biologist on board on weekend trips, and she was very interesting and helpful. 2) Be sure to arrive at the wharf area early because parking gets tight, at least on sunny weekends. There are plenty of places to eat and shop if you need to kill a little time though.

Crew & Boat were great.
Sun, Apr 5, 09   12:45 PM wwbuddy Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
From leaving the dock, to returning our needs were met. The crew was right there for advice, helping to untangle lines and take fish off the hooks. The Capton did all he could by taking us from spot to spot to find fish that would cooperate and bite. The Galley was good, and the food also good. I will be back out when the time allows it for me. I will recommend the trip to anyone wanting a great fishing experience. A great day for the kids also.

Too far to see whales
Sat, Apr 4, 09   2:00 PM juana_hwang Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
The boat docked 10 minutes late and came back on time. We were a good 100 ft away from the whale, so it was very hard to see. I would not do it again.
