Fun whale watching excursion
Wed, Oct 17, 07   4:00 PM Schlesinger Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
It was so much fun -- from the greeting by the staff, to the captain's whale expertise, to the dolphins showing off alongside the boat -- all wonderful. Best of all, of course, were the wonderful HUGE blue whales. A truly wonderful day!

Deep sea fishing, but not many fish
Sat, Oct 20, 07   12:00 PM paulniehouse Male 50-59 Local Family With Children
A great trip with the kids (9 & 11). They caught a decent number of small fish and had fun doing it. As far as actually getting some fish to take home and eat, it didn't happen.

great first time fishing

Our family had a great time on the trip. My suggestion would be to pay your crew while on the dock so they dont have to clean up while we are heading back. The crew was awesome and helped us out alot. They were friendly yet very professional. I understand the boat should be kept tidy so pay your guys some more money. They deserve more. That is a very physically demanding job. These guys are your front line to the public and I hope that you do whatever you can from a managerial point to keep them motivated and happy. We will use your services again. Although the weather presented adverse conditions, the trip was wonderful. By the way, I did catch 1 small fish. The cook on the galley, I think it was George, he did a great job and the food was delicious. The best hamburger I've had in a long time.

Had a blast. The crew was very helpful and really cool guys and the galley cook made amazing breakfast burritos. Overall one of the better fishing days I have had even though I didn't manage to catch much!

Whithout having to drive all the way to the harbor, I just purchased thru " Zerve". This service was quick, easy, and best of all free.

Pricey

Thought it was costly since there were very few fish caught. Should have gone to a few more spots.

It was a slow fishing day...

Upon arrival to the dock and fishing office the clerk was someone unhelpful. he seems unintrested in helping us. i bought tickets online and had "will-call" so i didnt recieve my tickets until the last min. he also said that they might not leave that day because there might not be enough people on board to go fish. they needed a minimun of 10 people. we only had 8 but ended up leaving anyways. On the boat was a different story. the deck-hand guys were very helpful and the captain was very nice. even though the fish werent biting as we wanted them to, it was a slow fishing day. it was our first time going deep sea fishing and an ok experience but i wish these guys would be a little more helpful in giving us a heads up on what to expect.

Had great fun, as always.
Fri, Nov 2, 07   10:00 AM kenkudla Male 60-69 Local Family With Children
The trip was fun - this is the 3rd time my Grandson and I have done it. We didn't catch mayn fish - 8 between the two of us - but we had a good time. One recommendation is that the crew needs to be more friendly. They were way to serious. I know they do this every day but we don't. They need to be part of making this fun. One other thing is it would be niece to have a poster to see what types of fish we might be catching. I am from the Northeast so I am not familiar with the local species. But, all in all, we had a fun day. Thanks.

I wish the guide had given us more information and it would've been great if we had actually seen whales but the dolphins were amazing!

Wonderful Time

My husband and I spent the day in California for our one year anniversary. We wanted to go on a whale watching excursion on our honeymoon but were unable to. We had the best time. The weather was a bit cool so I would highly recommend taking a light jacket but other than the chilly weather it was outstanding. We were able to relax on the boat a bit and get some great pictures of the whales. Seeing the whales was breathtaking. The staff knew what to look for and let the passangers know where to look when they spotted a whale. I would recommend this activity to anyone.

Greatly enjoyed this excursion. The crew were very knowledgable and interactive. No whales, but the dolphins were more than worth the trip.

Dolphins
Sat, Nov 10, 07   3:30 PM rogerbond Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
There were lots of dolphins but no whales to be seen; we spent about an hour with the dolphins which lost the allure after about 15 minutes.
