	What whales??? Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises
	Sun, Mar 9 1:00 PM	yoyosfather	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
	I know it was not your fault there were no whales but it was extremly boring when there was NOTHING to see at all. At least you gave out vouchers to try again. I noticed several people throwing their vouchers away. Guess they were not intereseted on going again even for free.
	Great day but disappointed to not see any whales. Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	This was the first time my 10 and 12 year old nieces were on a boat and it was great. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed being out on the water. Realizing there are no guarantees, we were hoping to see a whale or, at the least, some dolphins, but there were none. Our captain was very good and took us to see the sea lions, which was was good for the kids. We did receive rainchecks, so no problem. We will go again. I hear the whales are still in Mexico, so perhaps in a few weeks they will be ehaded this way.
	It was OK Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	The day was beautiful and the boat ride was nice -- we were supposed to be whale watching, but really it ended up being a 2 hour harbor cruise with no marine life and a nice time for my friend and I to chat and catch up for 2 hours. There really weren't any announcements or education about whales or anything like that, but I didn't expect a whole lot for the price, so I guess I got what I was expecting. They did give us a coupon to ride again for free since we didn't see anything, which was nice.
	No whales, but had fun anyway. Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	We didn't see any whales on our trip. My kids were disappointed at first, but it was still a very enjoyable 2-hour boat ride. We had a great burger and enjoyed the sun and breeze. The guarantee is very generous and we plan to return to take advantage of that whenever those whales decide to head to Dana Point!

	No we didn't see any whales and the water was pretty choppy, but the boat left on time and the crew did their darnedest to find us some whales to watch. Because we didn't see anything, I have a voucher for a free trip. Can't beat that.
	No fish 1/2 Day Fishing Trip
	Sun, Mar 9 6:30 AM	casey05usc	Male	20-29	Local	Family Without Children
	It was cool and I was glad I went, but the cold water was not conducive to catching fish. I think only 5 fish total were caught on the entire boat and only one in our group of 4 and it was a tree fish, haha. I don't even know what that means.
	Wonderful Opportunity Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	Although we live in So. California, we had not gone whale-watching in 10 years. My son was only 5 months old the last time we went! He was so amazed and excited that we actually saw a whale and it was fairly close! We heard the group before saw dolphins but we were happy with the whale.
	Helpful staff Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	We drove from LA and it took us much longer than we thought to arrive. We called to postpone our reservations as we were stuck in traffic. The staff gladly accomodated our request and rescheduled for a later time for us. Thank you.

	Enjoyable and relaxing Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	We did not see any whales, but did see a rather large pod of dolphins. The ride and just being on the boat was relaxing and they really do guarantee that you will see either whales or dolphins or you get to use your tickets again for a future trip. Really nice crew, as well, and a surprisingly filled galley food selection.
	Two funny and healthy hours! Reccomended! Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	Staff is friendly and it's very exciting seeing dolphins swimming and playing around the boat. Remember your camera, you will also have the chance to take lots of nice shoots.
	Lovely boat ride, but no whales Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	Considering that the tour is called Whale Watching I obviously expected to see some whales, but I didn't see any at all. But I enjoy boat rides and so I really liked being on the boat on a sunny day with nothing to do, but to sit and enjoy the view.
	It was a beautiful day for a boatride. Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	It was a beautiful day for a boatride. Alas, we only saw a bit of a whale from a long distance away. It was apparent that your crew was trying very hard to find a whale for us. I appreciate your policy of a "whale check" when we aren't able to find any whales. We were with some people from Ohio who had never been on a boat so we had a lovely time and the whales would have been an exciting bonus.
	Very nice experience... Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	OK, all we saw were two sea lions and no whales or dolphins, but that wasn't anybody's fault. Plus we got a pass to go out again for free. The captain and crew of our boat were great. The captain tried several different areas and kept us informed. He was very personable and genuinely sorry we didn't see a whale (although we did see a couple "spouts"). The boat was clean and the galley had reasonable prices.
	Whale Watching Bummer Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises
	Sat, Mar 8 11:00 AM	DawnDuBois	Female	30-39	Local	Family With Children
	Dana Wharf Whale Watching trip was ok. No whales found but not to fault the company. They captain could have given a narrative on other sea life in the area or local interesting facts on residents of interest. Something other than "remember folks, these animals are wild and cannot come on command...you must go to Sea World for that". I mean how dumb do you think we are. I found that to be condensending and unneccessary. It would be nice to know whale facts, trivia, and perhaps feel a whale tooth or bone or something. I did get a rain check but will I go back? Only for the pure curiosity of seeing a whale.
