Very enjoyable trip
Sun, Apr 20, 08   2:00 PM sbennett05 Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
I had a great time on the boat. It wasn't too crowded so everyone could get to a section of the boat that had a great view. I would definitely do it again.

No whales but lots of dolphins

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.

Great trip

I liked the whole thing. The only thing I would add would be a narration that taught something about the whales. Our captain had quite a lot to say about the dolphins, but very little about the whales. Where were they going, what are their feeding habits, breeding areas, and threats they face. I will definitely go again, probably with a couple of my grandchildren.

Great day of fishing!

The captain and deck hands did a great job of taking care of us from start to finish. There was a wide variety of snacks and drinks available at reasonable prices. The deck hands were patient and very helpful throughout the afternoon. The live sardines were quite large and difficult to deal with. We did not get hardly any bites with that bait. Smaller sardines or maybe even anchovies would have helped us get more bites. We waited an extra hour to be first in line for the boat to get a good spot. Then we had to rotate around twice during the trip and lost our preferred spots. We would have preferred not to have to rotate since we waited extra to get our preferred spot on the rail. Overall we had a great time and would do it again.

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

Everyone had a great time!

We had a great time, and caught some fish. The crew was nice and helpful, very much appreciated. Only recommendations-bring your sunscreen, sweatshirt, and leave squeamish friends home.

Our 2nd trip. Took 2 Grandchildren with us this time, they loved it. This will become a regular activity for ourselves and guests visiting us from back home (MI).

Excellent Trip
Wed, Nov 11  1:00 PM sallyeastwoo Female Unspecified Combination Family With Children
The catamaran was clean, spacious, new and fast. The crew were warm and welcoming as well as knowledgeable about the whales, dolphins, birds and other wildlife. As we were heading back to port somewhat disappointed that we hadn't seen anything, the captain suddenly noticed two blue whales and we turned back around to follow them. The crew went out of their way to make sure we saw as much as possible, even though we were slightly over our time on the trip. No one cared. We were just thrilled to have seen the whales! Thoroughly recommended and I would take this trip again.

Amazing sights!! I'd love to go again!!
Tue, Aug 4  5:00 PM SaiBhanu Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Totally worth the money, especially since I went on a Tuesday evening when it was half price... But it was worth more than full price! It was beautiful!! The Dolphins were wonderful, the Sea Lions utterly amusing to watch and the whales were breathtaking... I just loved the trip. I would have been happy with just seeing the dolphins and the whole swarm of birds that were feeding, so to actually see a whale, which I wasn't expecting even though it was a whale watching trip, that was simply amazing!!!

Saw Lots of Dolphins!

Dolphins were very playful with us and the boat. I kept on the "lookout" for a migrating whale....and sure enough I saw it. Pretty far away but still exciting.

Absolutely Breath-taking!

This was the highlight of my trip! Dana Wharf is located in a very quiant town and was clean and very well kept. From the moment we bought our tickets, the staff was friendly and very helpful. We bought our tickets early, so we enjoyed a cafe within walking distance before boarding the boat. Once we boarded, we left promptly, and all of the crew members were very enthusiastic and polite. The guide was very knowledgable on the different animals and migratory patterns, etc. We did not see any whales, BUT we did see somewhere between 2000-3000 dolphins! It was incredible! We rode with their pod for nearly an hour as they played with the waves off of our boat. It was absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. It would be great for families or a group of friends, or even a date! Just remember to bring a light sweater and sunblock!

everything was there!
Tue, Feb 3  2:00 PM sabineb Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
That day was wonderful. We saw grey whales (maybe not as close as we were hoping for, but still nice), then on the way back, we were kind of disappointed because that was all, but it turned out that a family of dolphins were passing by. The boat then stop and even turned around so could have a better look. The dolphins were swimming so close to the boat even going under it, it was fabulous. And then we saw sea lions (not seals!!!), that was great too. And we can't forget the pelicans flying so close to us just above the boat, delightful. And of course the weather was wonderful too, calm sea and blue sky, what else can you ask for! Thanks for the great experience!

Loved it!!

We really enjoyed the whale watching trip. The boat was nice, stafff was very attentive and the sights were great. Even though we only saw one blue whale, we saw a bunch of dolphins and for us that was very entertaining. $40 for two adults is a great price (we went on a Tuesday) and 2 hours was the perfect amount of time. All in all, a great outing we will definetly do again.
