We saw whales!
Wed, May 13  1:00 PM captlee48 Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Wow, what a beautiful day aboard the OC Adventure! Calm seas and a beautiful power catamaran that took us out to sea where we were treated to close up views of dolphin - they come right over to the boat - and huge fin whales. Knowledgable crew, timely departure and return, and a nice clean boat made the trip just right! Would highly recommend this mid-week fun to do trip.

Maybe wrong time of year
Mon, May 11  1:00 PM ElizabethAbr Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We took off on time but were out there nearly 2 hours before we finally saw 1 small humpback whale. It was exciting to see it but it was not what I expected. I rated the activity as Neutral because I don't know enough about whales to have expected something better at this time of the year. Maybe earlier in the year the whales are out more but one whale at the very end of the trip was a bit disappointing. The crew of 2 were not the friendliest either. We asked one (pink mohawk) if it was time and he kind of snapped at us. We're from Las Vegas. Whales are not something we see everyday. They need to take into consideration that although they see these beautiful animals everyday, there are people who have never seen one "Up Close and Personal" as your ad says. Our original plan was to go to Santa Barbara but with the fires we thought it best not to go into that area. I probably would not recommend this trip to my friends. Also when we came into the office to pickup our tickets we weren't greeted in a friendly manner. We felt as if we were more of a bother than customers.

Best Mothers Day ever!!!
Sun, May 10  12:45 PM melissawee Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
I highly recommend the 1/2 day fishing trip! We had a range of ages in our group from 5 years old to 80 years old. Everyone had a blast! The crew was amazing, very helpful and courteous. The ride was beautiful and we caught several fish. I appreciated them providing live bait too. Don't wait! Take this trip.

Won't recommend
Sun, May 10  11:00 AM Menezeh77 Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
It was my 1st time going whale watching so I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately it was horrible! The catamaran was to un-steady it was hard to walk from one place to another specially with a drink in your hand. It was just not worth getting up and trying to get outside. It was just a bad experience one that wasn't worth what it cost. I didn't even get to see a whale which was made it worst, all I know is that I will never go on it again or recommended to anyone.

Great little excursion!
Sun, May 10  11:00 AM marlene007 Female 20-29 Local Family With Children
This is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a short getaway from the mundane weekend (or week day) activities. The boat size is nice, plenty of room, very clean. Back of the boat is prime real estate in my opinion, it's deep bench seating, so you can really stretch out. The only con to that is the chance you take in inhaling the exhaust from the engine. However; good weather conditions, combined with a nice breeze should knock that out. I took the Mother's Day cruise, so the complimentary champagne with snacks were a perk. I don't know if that's customary for all the two hour cruises, it is however on the four hour; or so I've heard. For locals such as myself, it truly makes you appreciate the beauty Southern California has to offer. If you're someone who respects & appreciates natural beauty, or takes pleasure in the splendor ocean life has to offer: This is for you!

Fun but a bit disappointing
Fri, May 8  1:00 PM KarenBonecki Female 40-49 Local Family Without Children
The reason I say disappointing is - the ad reads blue whale season begins in May. One of the first things the captain announced was, blue whale season begins in late May/early June. Perhaps you should change the dates to reflect this more accurately. The catamaran ride was great though.

Awesome Time
Tue, May 5  1:00 PM arcavic1 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This has been one of the best local cruises’ I have taken in quite awhile! The staff was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the animals we came upon, which made it a great experience for the kids. On a more romantic note, the scenic views coupled with the fresh – ocean air made for an enjoyable trip for my friend, and me especially since I had a few extra bucks in my pocket due to the cruise being so affordable, sweet.

Great time
Tue, May 5  1:00 PM robo8121 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I had a really good time. We didn't see any whales but it was past the time of migration so to be expected. We saw sea lions up close, and tons of common dolphins, some bottle nose dolphins, and a lot of birds diving into the water. It was more than I expected, the dolphins were swimming so close to the boat and jumping out of the water. It was a lot of fun and worth the price (a lot cheaper than other places in the area).

Very enjoyable

This was a great two hour cruise with a great crew. The crew worked very hard at finding marine mammals to view. We found a large group of dolphins that were a great joy to view.

Always a pleasure
Sat, May 2  5:30 PM xsiveguy Male Unspecified Local Family With Children
It's always a pleasure to go out on the Twighlight trip with Dana Wharf Sportfishing. 4 hours is a perfect amount of time with children and/or folks trying out fishing for the first time. It's short enough that if it's not working out or you're getting seasick you'll be back soon enough but it's long enough to get some real fishing done. I've done this trip several times now (I think that this was my fourth) and for the first time my son fished the entire time instead of playing with the bait fish in the bait tank for the last part of the trip. He was a fisherman instead of a fisherman's son. We'll be thinking about a longer trip now but will still go out on this once in a while with newbies. The crew is great. The galley is great. You don't have to get up early in the morning to go. I recommend it.

Awesome!!
Sat, May 2  1:00 PM jrlson Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We went on the weekend because we were in town then and knew that a Marine Biologist was on board. She was extremely knowledgeable and the trip on a whole was very exciting. We saw a pod of about 500 dolphins and then were able to see a rare sighting of 2 humpback whales!! We stayed out longer than our allotted time because of a tip that whales were sighted. They asked everyone if we could stay out later and we all agreed and were pleased to see the whales. It was so worth it. Fantastic!!
