Great opportunity to enjoy the shoreline views.

Trip was very well organized and staff was very friendly and helpful even though we didn't catch many fish. I was a little disappointed in that we fished so close to shore since we were barely past the pier at one point. Definitely not deep sea fishing at 30 feet of water. All-in-all, I highly recommend the trip and perhaps the 3/4 day trip travels out further into deeper water. Only problem is that I live more than an hour away from Dana Point and couldn't make a 6:00 AM start with two children. Hurrah for half price Tuesdays!

off-shore fishing

large fishing trawler (30 people ) gets you out on the water for a good five hours of fishing, even though the catch at this time of year is not very good. Well worth the value.

Was fun and had a great day. Thank You

It was something I have never done and always wanted to. We got very lucky that day and saw five whales and probably around 50 Dolphins. It was a very great day and fun. The crew was very nice and the cheese bugers were also very good and of course the beer just another benefit. Well planned out. Thank You for a great day. The two hours went pretty fast and could of been just a little longer.

Awesome Experience
Tue, Mar 25, 08   12:00 PM CourtneyD Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We saw over six whales, including a Mother and Calf!!! There were over a thousand dolphins swimming around the boat, and we got great photos. We also got an amazing close up of a sea lion who flopped out of the water right next to us. The captain gave us great information and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Great way to spend the afternoon.

I have lived in Orange County for more than two years, and I wish that I had done this before. My cousin and grandmother came to visit from out of state, and I booked the the tour/cruise for the three of us. The weather was beautiful, the view of Dana Point from the ocean looked like a painting, and the dolphins and whales did not disappoint. We saw 4-6 gray whales and a huge pod of common dolphins. The crew/staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Also, the cruise does not interfere with the animals travel patterns or harass nature just for a photo-op.

Doesn't get any better than that

The whale watching was more that we hoped for! It was a beautiful calm day and we saw hundreds of Dolphins and six whales. We were able to watch both for 45 min. plus. The captain seemed very knowledgeable and overall it was a great experience. My only complaint is the boat was pretty crowded and my small children had difficulty seeing the whales because of needing to be lifted up above the many people. So get in line early and head for the bow of the boat!

Beautiful day on the ocean!

We had a great time! We brought sack lunches and sat at the tables on the top deck...thought we'd have a great view of the whales and dolphins, but the captain always kept the ship pointed at them, so we had to strain to see through the captain's windows. I'd recommend getting a spot in the front of the boat if you want the best views. I heard several people down there complain that they couldn't see over everyone else, so be sure to secure a spot on the railing. We saw 4 grey whales and a huge pod of dolphins. The captain was able to entice the dolphins to play, and they surfed in the ship's wake...sailing through the air, jumping and flopping on their sides. It was definitely the highlight of the afternoon!

We saw several whales and a pod of Dolphins. The boat was comfortable and not over-crowded. It was a great deal for the price.

Great Escape

This was a great trip, and we saw a lot of whales and dolphins. We saw about four whales, head, fluke, spout. The dophins are really cool when they jump out of the water over the wake of the boat. Very friendly crew. A great two hour escape!

We enjoyed our whale watching trip. the crew was very helpful and did a great job showing off the whales and dolphins. We saw four whales and several dolphins in all. My kids left the boat with great big smiles at seeing something that we had never seen before.
