Great time with Dana Wharf team
Tue, Jan 29, 08   10:00 AM smarin Male 30-39 Local Family Without Children
Even though the rain was threatening the day was beautiful! The Dana Wharf team was able to find a smooth location to fish and we hit a great spot. My group caught the majority of the fish landed on the trip which made for an even better trip.

Dolphins

We were hoping to see Whales. However, the dolphins were amazing! Thousands of common dolphins! Definitely an experience to remember. Don't forget the camera!

Very Enjoyable and Memorable
Sat, Mar 22, 08   2:00 PM slatergirlz Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We saw one Gray Whale with her calf and followed them for about 20 minutes. We really had to strain to get a good look (there are laws that keep the boats from getting too close?). Very educational but not too much blah-blah. The ride was great...spectacular views and relaxing! Take dramamine 1 hour before to ensure enjoyment. Awesome staff and reasonably priced yummy snacks.

What a great trip!
Sat, Jun 27  1:00 PM sjtracey Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We took my 8 year old daughter and mother (who was visiting from the East coast) on a 2.5 hour whale watching trip on 6/27. The catamaran was ideal for the trip - lots of deck space, very clean, etc. They only take a small group on each of these trips, so there was plenty of room for everyone, and it wasn't crowded at all. The crew was fantastic - very helpful and friendly, and eager to make sure everyone had a great time. We saw a HUGE pod of common dolphins pretty much right away, and then the crew got a tip on a fin whale and we took off to try and find it. Which we did! We stayed near it for a while (saw it come up 3 times), and although bobbing around in the not-so-still water was a little tough on some stomachs, it was worth it to see such a magnificent sight. The company doesn't guarantee that trips will see whales each time, but they certainly seemed to try hard to make it happen. We will DEFINITELY be going back out with them again soon!

Fun but no sightings
Fri, Jul 17  1:00 PM sjones30943 Female 40-49 Local Individual
The ride was nice, and the boat was comfortable enough. Unfortunately, the day I went, there were no sightings of whales or dolphins. They did give out vouchers for 1/2 off tickets to come back and try again which I thought was appropriate. I plan on doing just that!

Excellent trip
Sat, Jun 20  1:00 PM Sjhopson Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
We were impressed with the boat, VERY clean. Left on time Crew showed great concern for the passengers by really trying to find a local whale (it moved out of the area, we saw no whales) Even without whales and with a gloomy day, we had alot of fun. The Marine Biologist was very informative too.

Staff was friendly even if customers were not. We didn't see a whale, but they don't guarantee that you will. The dolphin's were cool.

Great Adventure
Wed, Sep 3, 08   5:00 PM sidebottom Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
It was a great day at sea! We went on the 5pm trip and saw dolphins and sea lions. We didn't see any blue whales, but the trip was still awesome because it is well worth just the boat ride alone. You can move around the boat at your leisure (we were on the Sum Fun and it was not crowded) and if you stand at the bow you can get splashed with water. I would go back for a gray whale expedition in the winter. I would highly recommend this trip for vacationers and locals alike. We could see Saddleback Mountain. The only area for improvement might be for the Captain and Skipper to give more information on points of interest along the shoreline as the boat heads back to shore.

Lots of kids...Must bring kids own poles
Sun, Sep 13  12:45 PM shoten Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
this is a great trip for kids although NOT great for catching good fish to eat. The smaller kids under 6 really need to bring their own poles if they are going to catch anything... The first time we went our 4 year old loved being the bait girl. The second time we were on a different boat and she could not REACH the bait therefore she got bored. The rental poles are way too big for her. The bait was also way too big for the bottom feeding fish which are always the ones we like to eat... It is a bit pricey for a family of five even on Sunday when kids are free it cost us close to $200 for the half day trip for everything and we did not even get any fish to take home and cook.... We would like to try a different time of day maybe twlight is better, but then it will cost us even more. The crew was great and very helpful.... We will be going again sometime in the future...

Good crew, great turnout of dolphins and whales
Tue, Mar 25, 08   4:00 PM shoopie Male 40-49 Combination Other
Combination of family from in state and Colorado, tour left on time and we were in the fishing boat. Partly due to the skill of the captain and partly due to the boat running on only one engine we were running slow and quiet enough to catch up with hundreds of dolphins and 6 grey whales. Skipper said it was the most amazing turnout he had ever seen. Everyone in our party agrees.

Professional Crew

Found Whales right out of the Harbor. We tired of Whales and spent most of the day cruising through a hugh pod of Dolphin. At least 250 in this pod. The Dolphin put on a great show. We next sited 3 whales in a group on our way back to port. What a memorable experience.

We had so much fun! The boat staff was so friendly and helpful. And we went straight to where the whales were that morning. The kids loved the whole trip! Thank you for a great day on the ocean!

It was very fun & educational
Mon, Feb 18, 08   12:00 PM Sheryl65 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We found whales within 15 minutes or so. The boat stayed with them for the entire trip with narration from the captain. The food was good. I would reccomend this service to friends and family & I found being able to scedule online great.

We did this back in April but were only able to see dolphins (but boy were there alot of them) and the trip was great. This time WOW!! We saw 8 or 9 whales. I couldn't keep up with the captains count and he was just as excited as all of us on board. Perfect day, perfect experience. Will definitely be doing it again.
