| We had a great time. George (in the galley) made my wife and daughter feel very welcome. My wife says that he "makes a mean burger". We didn't see any whales, but did see lots of dolphins and sea lions. | ||||||

| I had never been whale watching and thought it would be nice to do something different for my birthday. The trip was pleasant and the crew and other passengers were very nice. We saw many dolphins but unfortunately there is no guarantee that you will spot any whales. | ||||||

| The boat was comfortable. The crew was excellent. But, not a whale in site and only two dolphins. Nice boat ride though. | ||||||

| Although we enjoyed the day we were disappointed that we did not see any whales. I tried to talk to one of the staff and ask questions but he was very short with me. I am not sure if I would go again. We did enjoy the dolphins. | ||||||

Disappointing

| This is the second time I've taken this whale watching cruise during "whale season." Both times the only thing we saw were dolphin, which are not hard to find off the coast in that area. I see them from the beach every time I'm in Dana Point/Capistrano. The captain kept telling us that dolphin are in the "whale family." I guess that is so when we don't see an actual whale we're supposed to feel better? I guess that's how they don't use their "money back guarantee?" If you see a dolphin...you're still seeing something. And yet the whale statistics on the site make it look like they're seeing many whales every day? When we did see the dolphins, more than 35 minutes were spent just driving in a circle to the point where I was almost dizzy. After about 10 minutes of that not only my kids, but also the entire kindergarten field trip, who were also on the boat, seemed to be bored with it. All in all the cruise was disappointing...again. They gave us a 10% off coupon for the next purchase, but after 2 disppointing trips on the same boat, I'm not sure I'd spend over $100 again to see dolphins...even with the whopping $3 off. On top of that, after not seeing any whales, they asked for tips upon leaving the boat. | ||||||

| My husband and I grew up in San Diego and have lived the last 10 years in this area. Neither of us has ever gone on a whale watching event. We wanted to do something interesting to celebrate our daughter's 17th birthday that was outdoors and camera friendly. We had the most amazing day from the weather to the two whales to the thousand dolphin. The crew was extremely professional and personable at all times looking out for the best experience possible for their clients. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. We will definitely repeat this event and be a tourist more often. Thank you so much for the beautiful day. | ||||||

| We had a wonderful trip whale watching--I had tickets from a previous trip where we didn't see any dolphins and/or whales. However, this second time around we saw a pod of dolphins and two whales. The people who work with this company are very polite and accomodating--once we found the whales they followed them for approx. 20 mins so that we could see them up close. It was a great experience and I can't wait to bring my grandchildren back !! Thank you. | ||||||

| The only down side was that we did not find any whales on our excursion (the cruise just before ours had found one). However, it was more than made up for by the "jackpot" of dolphins we found. There were literally hundreds in a massive pod. They put on quite a show for us. Weather was beautiful and cruise employees were excellent. | ||||||

| We saw more dolphins than we saw whales. I love dolphins too but we were on a whale watch tour. We saw 1 grey whale very briefly. Maybe spent just about 15 minutes. The captain should have looked for at least another. It was not bad of a tour. But I would have loved to see a couple more whales at least. | ||||||

| The whole family had a good time on this trip. We had two 4 yr olds so we were a bit worried about how they would do and it all went fine. I think however that about 90 min into the 2 hr trip both girls started to feel some motion sickness. We had brought crackers and juice with us along with other snacks and that seemed to settle their stomachs. We saw two whales and a huge school of dolphins as well as some sea lions. Boat personnel were very nice and it all went well. There are tables and benchs on top of the boat so if you want that, get in line early to get first dibs. Also if you want a good spot at the front of the boat. Set your camera on telephoto and sports speed. | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| Zerve staff were helpful, tickets were easy to obtain. Dana Wharf directions/parking are straightforward. Two hours is more than enough time (nine/twelve year old boys would have been really bored by anything more). Saw 4 grey whales, captain gives informative commentary. | ||||||
