| This trip was fun. I recommend to take your own snacks and drinks. Get there at least 20 min early to get in line so you can choose where to sit or stand. Take comfortable shoes and a jacket/sweater even on hot days as it is cooler out on the ocean. My boyfriend and I had a good time. We went on the boat ride, saw a bunch of dolphins and like 5 seconds of a whale (don't expect to see them "free willy" status) , and then went to a Caribbean restaurant in Laguna Beach to go along with the theme of the date =). We really enjoyed ourselves. This activity would also be good as a family trip with kids. Have them do some research/activities about sea life before (dolphins, whales, birds, seals, etc) and have them share what they know about the specific animal when they spot it. It could be very educational and/or just plain fun. | ||||||

| The ride was calming and very smooth. We saw two blue whales and tracked their activity for about one hour. The guides were full of knowledge and did their best to ensure that the whales could be seen from different angles. We were able to capture great pictures. | ||||||

A perfect trip to see marine mammals!

| We took my wife's sister and three kids who were visiting from Phoenix. They had never seen dolphins in their natural habitat before. We went on a Tuesday and the tickets were half price. This was an outstanding bargain. Although we saw no whales, the dolphins were just awesome. We were able to get up close to these wonderful creatures by leaning over the bow rail of the boat as they rode along with the wake. The catamaran is great, very smooth and stable, the crew is friendly and professional. Everything about experience was first class and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to spend a couple of hours in the Pacific off beautiful Dana Point! We had such a good time my wife took another niece on the trip the following week. | ||||||

The Other Boat Was Better

| I've gone on the whale watching cruise twice before, but I'm wondering if it was with a different company, because it was in a much better boat. All three times were at Dana Harbor. The boat was clean and the crew was really nice, and they did have drinks and snacks on board, but there wasn't enough room to sit, and if you were sitting, the captain was in front, so you couldn't see anything ahead. The other two times I went, the captain was in the back, and there was plenty of seating in the sun and in the shade. I must mention that on all three trips, I never saw any whales, but I have seen plenty of dolphins, and it's great because they come right up to the boat and swim where you can see them only maybe 10 feet away. And there are always lots of oohs and ahhs when they jump and dart around - it's really pretty exciting. | ||||||

| Seven in our group, five adults and two teenage boys. The kids and two adults where here on vacation from England. It was their first time fishing anywhere. We all had a GREAT time and the boat and crew were first rate and VERY helpfull. We have already made plans to return in February and go out again! Thank you! | ||||||

Mediocre Effort

| There are several dolphin and whale watching cruises around. Haven't tried them, but I imagine they're probably better than Dana Wharf. Although the cruise was cheap, I wasn't particularly impressed by the knowledge of the crew, the organization of the enterprise (use a lot of inexpensive, young labor), or what we saw that evening -- the captain spent way too much time with a small pod of dolphins instead of at least trying to make a decent effort to find other marine mammals (i.e., whales). They would have been a bit more interesting. When I do this again, I'll use another company that goes out on the 5-hour cruises. It's more expensive, but you pay for what you get. | ||||||

| The whale watching adventure was a huge success - we saw dolphins, sea lions, a sun fish and yes, a whale. I especially appreciated the captain's knowledge of the sea life. I will recommend this to my friends. Thank you for such a great time. | ||||||

Relaxing trip

| Don't forget to take binoculars as it is hard to get close to the whales they keep swimming underwater while feeding so you don't know where they will pop up next. Also you have to be quick with your camera and have a good zoom feature or else pictures won't turn out very good. Don't go below unless you only want to see other peoples rear ends. | ||||||

Great Day!

| This was my 10 yr old son's first time fishing.....and I have VERY LITTLE experience so, I was concerned. But EVERYONE was very helpful, attentive and knowledgeable! Even other fisherman checked on us to see how we were doing. Great people, Great Fun...and my son caught SEVERAL FISH....including one keeper. We WILL be back. | ||||||

| It was a hot day with little fish bites. But that's fishing, no guarantee you're going to catch anything. A bit crowded but I'll go again. | ||||||

| We had a wonderful time on the cruise. I especially loved the fact that there were not so many people on board - everyone could get right on the railing to see the whales and dolphins. Our captain was great - he did a fantastic job finding whales and dolphins for us to view as well as providing us with interesting narration. I am looking forward to another trip in the near future! | ||||||
