overall a nice activity but....

A nice way to spend a couple hours with friends or family but it should be named "Dolphin Watching Tour." I have taken this trip 3 times in the last couple of years (in March) and have yet to see any whales. Although we have not seen any whales, at least we have seen dolphins every time - it was fun to see them. Can't expect to see whales every time but so far it has been 0 for 3.

A lovely day

We didn't see whales on this trip but we saw a pod of dolphins that were very entertaining. I got a lot of good photos. The weather was perfect but DO follow the recommendations to wear several layers of clothing. It was cold enough to need two jackets and a hood but we were in our tee shirts later that day. Also, consider taking Dramamine before you go. The up and down of the boat is just enough to make you a little queasy.

It's an amazing experience for all family. Only problem is that my kids' grandma got seasick, which made her suffer a while. But we saw lots of whales, even dolphines. Very interesting!

they didn't work very hard at finding whales

nice boat, comfortable and clean. they guarantee sightings of either whales or dolphins, we found the dolphins first and after that I didn't get a feeling they were looking very hard for whales--they headed back toward our embarkation point and just sort of skimmed along the shore. I've been on other whale watching tours where they moved around to several sites to find whales.

Call it a dolphin-watching cruise; then, people won't feel let down when there are no whales and excited when there are.

whale watching boat tour - marginal at best
Sun, Mar 2, 08   1:00 PM jafitzgerald Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
it was my understanding that this is the time of whale observing. with modern means of sharing information, i feel the company was pretty sure we wouldn't see any whales, but they were happy to take our money and give us a two hour boat trip. i was most disappointed and would not recommend the boat ride. we saw more sea life activity from the balcony of our hotel than we did from the boat.

A very enjoyable adventure.

Although we didn't see any whales, we saw an enormous pod of common dolphins. There were literally hundreds of dolphins around the boat for nealry an hour and they were very entertaining. The captain provided an adequate, but brief discussion of the common dolphins' range, etc. In light of the fact that we didn't see any whales, it would have been nice if the captain had filled in some of the dead time with more description of the dolphins, the whales that we came to see, and the history of Dana Point and Dana harbor.

Mega-pod of dolphins
Sun, Mar 2, 08   3:00 PM modollies Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
The boat was uncrowded as it was the last cruise of the day. The captain headed out and soon spotted a huge number of dolphins. He took us right into the pod. At least a hundred of these animals were racing with our boat and jumping up out of the water. We never saw a whale, but seeing these dolphins was an experience of a lifetime.

Dolphins Rule!
Mon, Mar 3, 08   12:00 PM MikeandFran Female 50-59 Local Family With Children
We did not see any whales on this excursion, however, we came into a huge pod of dolphins and the excitement was electrifying! We had our 4 year old grandson with us for the day and he squealed with delight at the sights and sounds of the dolphins jumping, swimming, surfing and just playing all around the boat. The captain played along too by making a wake for them to surf in! It was a memorable day! Thanks, Mike and Fran Edeler

The tour was beautiful and fun. We saw hundreds of dolphins. The kids loved it! The crew was extremely helpful in assisting my father with his wheelchair. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the area. It was a highlight of our trip.

We enjoyed the boat ride very much. We saw dolphins but no whales which was slightly disappointing.
