	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.

	I highly recommend this event. I'm a nature lover anyway and it was quite an experience seeing sea-life up close.

	The weather was nice and we were able to watch the sunset off the water. No whales but plenty of other sightings.
	Amazing to see magnificent grey whales live! Whale Watching Cruises

	The captain of our Whale Watching trip has been doing this since 1989. He is extremely knowledgeable and I felt he still was in awe after seeing these magnificent creatures so many times. He know where to go and how to approach the whales. The crowd was wonderful and they don't overcrowd the boat. I thoroughly enjoyed the views of Dana Point and San Clemente as well. I came away with new wonder and appreciation for God's amazing creatures. Worth it!
	Terrific even when the whales don't show up Whale Watching Cruises

	We are always happy to travel with the folks from the Dana Wharf Whale Watching excursions. This was probably about our 6th trip and our first sunset cruise. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable. The ship is clean and enjoyable. This cruise was not too crowded, so there were plenty of seats below and above (I do wish they had a few more seats on the boat). We did come upon a large pod of bottle nose dolphin -- this was our first encounter with them, as we usually have seen the common dolphin. We were given much time to enjoy them, photograph them and watch them play with the ship. There was no mention from the PA about not being able to find a whale -- I wish they had clarified that. But we also know that whale sightings are down this season. Last stop was to visit the sea lions that take refuge on a red buoy in the water, and they always delight the kids. This was a birthday gift for our daughter, and her request to take out the cruise again. We will be back as many times as our schedule allows and highly recommend it to all.

	We had a great time and saw one whale and several dolphins. We only live 5 mins away so we will be back soon.
	Good for family Whale Watching Cruises
	Sat, Feb 16 2:00 PM	eyemtlaw	Male	30-39	Local	Couple on a Date
	Not too good for a date. Spent most time viewing dolphins. Saw one whale and only the spout. For the same price i'd rather go to Sea World or the San Diego Zoo. Would recommend as a first time for kids as it is more of a family type of event. The two hours went quickly. Make sure you layer your clothing as it gets breezy and is much cooler than on shore. I was expecting more, but it was good for me to try it and find out for myself. I didn't like the fact that the other boats would follow where we went which would scare off the dolphins and whales because it seemed as if you were blocking the animals in. I'm not sure if the other boats are inexpensive than this one. Also, this boat is quite large and therefore holds more people which could make getting a seat or a good location difficult. If your more into the intimate nature, i would suggest the other whale watching tours that are smaller but let's you get a better view because there is more space to move around the boat during the trip because the animals go on either side of the boat so moving from one side to another is important.
	Great trip, Highly recommend 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	The trip we took was great. From the start the staff was very friendly. The boat was very clean. We did not catch much fish, but the crew took us to different areas to help us find the best catch. The view and sunset were just beautiful. We had a lot of fun and help from the crew. Most of all we enjoyed the grilled burgers they were the best, way better than our sandwich. Next time we go I will not bother taking a lunch, maybe some snacks. I will definitely return and take another trip with Dana Wharf Fishing
	Excellent experience. Wonderful Crew! 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	We want to thank you all for the wonderful experience. The crew was tierless in their patience of our novice abilities. I know it is always hard to controll a large group but a reminder to the guests about families with children may help keep some of the language in a more appropriate zone for kids. Thanks again!

	It was great to be out in the ocean, enjoying just that was great. We saw several whales, seal lions, and dolphins. The boat was great as were the crew. We had a wonderful time.
