Great ship, great crew and great viewing. A very pleasant two hours exploring the Dana point seas and wildlife. Tuesdays are two for one days but a great bargain on any day. A snack bar with drinks, hot and cold, alcoholic and non completed the adventure.

We saw a mega pod of dolphins, a CA grey whale and sea lions on the buoy. It was an awesome time!

I am a grandfather 75 years old. I went with my wife who is 66 years old. We moved around the boat with little trouble, even though it was rocky at times. We went in early January. There was a little wind, but that was expected. We knew it would be a little cold, so we dressed appropriately. The inside of the boat has snacks and drinks for sale. The boat has a very heavy zippered plastic covering on the sides of the boat that completely cover the inside of the boat. You could see out. It was warm in there. We stayed outside at times on the front of the boat and saw the whales as they swam around and made themselves visible to us. We also saw lots of dolphins, and some seals. For the money it is a wonderful trip. Took lots of photos to show our kids. Would recommend this to anyone young or old. Bud from Orange County, California.

The crew was awesome. They were not only friendly but really seemed like they wanted everyone to have a great time. We even went over our scheduled time to see a whale that we spotted towards the end of the tour.

The crew is very friendly and informative. The boat was nice and not too crowded so we were able to get a good view of all the sealife. It was something that we will keep on our list to take all of our out of town visitors on to see the wildlife of CA.

I gave this to my mom as a christmas present and even before we saw the two whales she told me this was the best present she had ever received. We are already planning our next trip. We saw whales and dolphins. Also the crew was great and the captain very entertaining. You won't regret your purchase.

We saw two Grey whales and thousands of dolphins. The crew stayed out an additional 15 min. for us to get good photos. The trip was well worth the money. My grand daughter was thrilled.

The 2 hour tour seems to go by pretty quick from how really enjoyable the tour is. I got to see about 200 common dolphins which was amazing and magical! They swim sooo close to the boat so you can really see them up close. I saw some sea lions which was great aswell. I love the ocean, the fresh wind and animals so if you do as well, then this whale watching tour is for you. I absolutely loved it and plan on going on the tour again soon.

We will be going back again. The crew was friendly and well informed. The trip was amazing. Even though we did not see whales this time out, we saw a pod of hundreds of dolphins and groups of sea lions. It was well worth the price.

The crew was informative, the boat was comfortable (had exterior and interior/cafe seating). Too bad we didn't get to encounter any grey whales (went in early January during the season), but we did get to see a pod of bottle-nosed dolphins that stuck around with us for awhile and played with our boat! It was worth the trip.

our experience was very good, but I strongly recommend you to avoid having private boats between yours and the whales. It was very disappointing. Regards, Enzo

The crew was great, the ride was awesome and we saw whales!! That Capt was very informational about the types of whales and their demeanor. He also came out to talk to us passengers on a personal level; answering questions with expertise. The only complaint I have was with Zerve. When I called in and ordered my tickets, I specifically asked if there was a galley and if the boat took cash and credit. The rep stated that yes, the boat DID take cash and credit. But when we got on the boat and ordered a Merlot, it was cash only. The Capt and galley crew did allow me to run a tab until I got to land again..lol...So, all was good.
