This was our first time whalewatching with Dana Wharf. It was a smaller boat than on previous trips and that was a plus. The boat was clean, the crew was friendly and informative. We didn't have to go to far out before we began to follow a whale. On the return trip we spotted 4-5 more. We all had a good time.

A Whale
Tue, Feb 24  10:00 AM cinders2119 Female 50-59 Unspecified Unspecified
This was a 2 hour whale watching trip up toward the Pacific. The first 1hour 1/2 did not see anything but some California Sea Lions. On the way back, it was getting closer to having to get a refund on the ticket if whales was not seen. Captain spotted a whale, but was really hard to see. It was disappointing. (Some air blowing out of blow hole, far away) Incrediable! *Captain said that Grays only come up a few minutes for air after every 5-6 minutes under water.

Unfortunately, on the whale watching trip, there were no whales sighted. It was disappointing but the crew was fantastic. Upbeat attitudes, good knowledge and always checking to make sure the passengers were ok.

My recent trip with my son for a 1/2 day fishing aboard the Clamente out of Dana Wharf was very pleasant due to the amount of professional and friendly service from the Captain and Crew on board. My son and I will definitely be returning for more fishing.

We didn't see any whales, but we had a very enjoyable time experiencing the ocean and the overcast sky. It was beautiful. We saw dophins and sea lions and seals. My 9 yr old and 15 yr old enjoyed everything. The cook and his assistant really made the trip special. God bless them!

disappointing-no whales seen
Sun, Feb 22  10:00 AM JasonC Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
It was disappointing in the fact that we did not see any whales. I know it is random but I wonder how hard the guides try to find the whales...........they seemed to be doing alot of chatting and talking on their cell phones.

Fun but should be called Dolphin Watching
Sun, Feb 22  10:00 AM kimmyprice Female 20-29 Local Family Without Children
We took this trip in February during grey whale season. I like that the boat wasn't overcrowded (we could see a different company's boat leaving at the same time and they were far more crowded than we were), and I enjoyed the information from the captain over the speaker. He was very knowledgable. We saw a large pod of dolphins and it was great fun watching them play around the boat for a while. Then we headed over to a rock off of San Clemente with seals and sea lions on it, and that was fun too. But we didn't see any whales and it felt like that captain knew fairly early that we weren't going to see any so he just showed us the dolphins and seals, and he didn't bother going out where there may be whales.

Overall a good time.....

Good tour. Be prepared because it's really cold on the boat once you get going. It was actually warm at the dock before we left and once the boat started going the temperature appeared to quickly decrease, my husband and I were grateful we brought out coats. They have snacks on the boat too, so I warmed up with a cup of hot chocolate. We saw tons of dolphins and 1 whale on our tour. We weren't able to observe the whale for too long since we spotted it toward the end of our tour and the boat had to get back to the dock for the next tour. I would say it was worth the money paid.....

Worth the cash...

My wife and daughter went on this tour and honestly didn't think they would see a whale, but surprise they did. They also saw dolphins and sea lions the tour was extended because the whale was spotted on the way back in. Nice to see them not being clock watchers! The space and comfort were worth spending the extra money to go on the smaller group boat.

Let Down
Sat, Feb 21  12:00 PM Angie7 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We were excited about the trip, especially after reading that there was a whale guarantee and that whales were seen all the time within the past week. However, we didn't see any whales, or dolphins, or really anything. What was more upsetting was that the boat just kept moving, but no announcements were ever made as to what was going on, why we weren't seeing anything, or any real facts about the marine life. We understood that there's no guarantees and that you might not see any marine life. But it was disappointing anyway. What added to the disappointment was the lack of updates or really anything being said by the company until we got back to shore. The boat just kept moving, passengers confused. We did get back, and they gave us our tickets back and said we could come back anytime we wanted for free. But I'm from DC...when I am I going to go back? So...$60 spent on two tickets for riding around on a boat.

Not what I thought it was going to be....

Wow this was a 1/2 day I will never get back. If you are thinking about deep sea fishing I would look elsewhere. This is basically bait fishing with 40+ people crammed together on a boat standing for 4 hours. It is cheap but you get what you pay for. They give you rods/reels that can handle 20 pound fish but the largest our group caught was 20 inches. I catch trout bigger than that on 4lb test! Just don't go out thinking you are going to catch big ocean fish we caught nothing but sand bass and most of them were in the 10-15 inch range not what I expected from the ocean.
