| Our family enjoyed it...we saw many dolphins..but no whales...but it was still fun...my daugther enjoyed seeing the dolphins. We would go back again but we hope the next time we get to see whales.... it's fun if you go w/ the group & there's a lot of you in the family. One thing, it can get boring though after a while esp if u want to see a whale & there's none.. But overall, it was nice. =) | ||||||

| I made the reservations online which was very handy. We arrived at Dana Point and the meeting place. We were met by a not-so-nice women, but as soon as we got on the boat the mood turned around. The captians knew what they were doing, and took us straight to a pod of dolphins. We didnt see any whales but just being out on the boat was nice and relaxing. Our group had some very nice people on it. The only complaint I have is when we checked in, the women behind the desk was rude and acted like we were bothering her, the rest of the tour was great and I recommend it. | ||||||

| This was an incredible experience. The crew was so wonderful in their explanation of what was happening. On our trip we were not able to spot a whale, but I have never seen so many dolphins in my whole life (all added together even). Must do event!!! | ||||||

| My son and I visited some family and friends in California. We had a very full schedule with very few off days. We had planned on going to an old gold mine, but it was out of season, so I got on the internet and found this whale watching cruise. What a great idea that was! The staff on the cruise was so polite and friendly! We didn't find any whales that day, but we did see some spectacular dolphins! They were so close to the boat, that when they splashed along the side, some ocean water hit us both! (not much, just a splash) We really enjoyed the 2 hours out on the ocean. . . Next time we get out towards California, we will DEFINATELY go again! | ||||||

| The ship left about on time, the weather was good, the boat captain and everyone were friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. We didn't see any whales, but we had a great time as the dolphins frolicked with the boat. Great trip. | ||||||

| I was excited about going out to view any type of whales and unfortunately not one whale to be seen. The captain said he was sorry and the whales must have been in Mexico and haven't made the trip back. What we did see was dolphines in herds swimming very fast and came very close to the boat. But that was it. I was disappointed because I've been wanting to do this a for a very long time. The captain said he would give us our tickets back if we didn't see any whales, but that didn't happen. Penny Douglas | ||||||

| four of us found it a delightful day to cruise and look for whales. We only found a pod of dolphin numbering over 1000, and the captain made sure we got to see them all. Crew was great, opening the galley for a late lunch. Nice trip even without a whale sighting. We'll do this again. | ||||||

Boring

| We didn't see anything and there we lots of little children running around yelling at themselves. A few of them fell each time they came out of the little cafe in the bottom of the boat by tripping over the raised floor panel in the doorway, and I guess that was kind of funny. | ||||||

| We have done this event before and this is the first time we didn't see any whales. We were disappointed as it is a lot more expensive than when we went a few years ago. We most likely won't do this again. The people who ran the boat were most friendly and helpful. Very nice. | ||||||

We had a great time, and can't wait to do again!

| Our experience overall was excellent, buying and printing tickets online was painless.....One arrived check in only took a couple of minutes The event itself was amazing, we loved every second of it.....It just so happen to be my boyfriends birthday, he was very impressed with the experience. The best example I have is, after our day was over my boyfriend who isn't amazed by the small things as myself, said that it was a once in life time experience and was very thankful for the birthday surprise. Therefore I would like to thank everyone involved in making his day a special one, it's a birthday he'll never forget! Thank you, Trish Riverside, CA | ||||||

| Keep in mind that on these kind of trips, it is really up to your luck whether you'll see any whales / dolphins / other marine animal. When I went, I was 90% sure I wasn't going to see anything at all, so I viewed this merely as a nice excursion with my girlfriend out to the sea. So when the dolphins showed up, everybody got really excited, and for me, that's an extra bonus. I think the trip would've been nice even if we didn't see anything, but of course, when we did, that was a pleasant surprise! | ||||||

| We didn't see any whales, but were lucky to meet large pods of dolphins. The boat was nice, and since we had read reviews on Zerve before the trip we didn't set ourselves up to see whales. One thing that I would have liked though was a note on how we could have gotten another trip since we didn't see any whales. We only thought about that several days after the trip. | ||||||

Whale Watching Bummer
|

| Sat, Mar 8, 08 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. | ||||||
