Great price
Sat, Mar 14  8:00 AM scrvarich Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
Once again, the price is the main perk of this trip. We've been out many times before with this group, and for the price it can't be beat (especially if you are in a group). So for that reason, I recommend this trip with this outfit. I was disappointed this time though... it took 1 1/2 hr and a tip from a local fishing boat to find a whale. I admit that's not really the fault of the company. But, what was disappointing is that the 1 1/2 hrs was spent zipping up and down the coast in FREEZING weather with no commentary whatsoever. The least they could have done is talked a little about the gray whales while searching for them, or had some whale artifacts to look at or something to make it more than a boat ride at 8am on a Saturday in the cold, damp weather. When we finally found the whale, it did not disappoint. He put on a great show. We really only got to spend about 10 minutes tracking it because it was time to head back - everyone kept mentioning how it felt like it was being crammed into the last few minutes so that they wouldn't have to hand out vouchers for free trips since we technically saw a whale. But again, for the price, this is totally the way to go.

Beautiful Boat, Wonderful Crew
Sat, Mar 14  8:00 AM Richele Female 50-59 Local Family With Children
The boat was very nice and clean, the crew members were very friendly and helpful. The food offered on board was good and was fairly priced. So often food is overpriced (movie theatres) when they have a captive audience, but NOTwith this company. When a whale was spotted, the skipper gave us information about it (the whale) and told us what direction to look, as well as what the whale might do next. Also gave us great information about the sea lions lounging on a buoy. We very much appreciated the discount price as we would not have been able to afford to take our family on this lovely trip at the regular price. This was a great deal!

Nice boat ride but no whales visible.
Fri, Mar 13  2:00 PM DavidGerke Male 60-69 Local Group of Friends
Nice boat ride on a nice day. No whales. Boat company gives you a complimentary ticket if no whales are seen. This ticket has no expiration date on it! Good marketing!

Captain was very negative in his talk.
Tue, Mar 10  10:00 AM dleedonahue Female 60-69 Local Family Without Children
I have taken this trip many times before with great pleasure. However, this captain was preoccupied talking with other ships and would tell us where the whales had come up but it was not until the very end that anyone believed that there were whales to be seen. He talked about sea lice and the killing of whales and the people on the boat were just shaking their heads. There are so many beautiful things that can be said about the whales and the dolphins and these things have been shared iin the past by other captains. We did not see one dolphin which was very unusual.

Great day
Tue, Mar 10  10:00 AM koodaigirl Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We had a great time whale watching. We did indeed see whales and some sea lions. We were hoping to see dolphins too, but we did not have that opportunity. The staff at the ticket counter were very friendly and the experience was very positive. I will definitely do this again!

SAW 6 GRAY WHALES AND ONE OF THE COOLEST DISPLAYS OF DOLPHINS PLAYING AND RIDING IN OUR WAKE. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND WOULD DEFINATELY DO IT AGAIN. NOT SURE HOW MANY DOLPHINS BUT I WOULD SAY 100+

This was the best trip we have ever taken!!!
Sun, Mar 8  2:00 PM greenstein5 Female 20-29 Local Family With Children
Our family has been on several whale watching adventures through numerous companies. We have been on this one before and after taking other trips, we wanted to come back here. From here on, we will only come here. We never have enjoyed ourselves like we do through this company. Not only did we see 3 whales and 20 dolphins, but we were informed by the staff of these animals as well. Kids can get restless waiting for the whales to come back up but listening to the staff describe the whale made their patience last longer!! There was so much room to walk around and to sit down- not overcrowded like some boats. Also, some boats do not even tell you where the life jackets are!!! This boat and staff did. From the second we got on to the second we got off, no complaints. The boat was awesome, clean, and has great food. To top all this off, when I awoke that morning, I was sick. We called in and spoke with the staff. They said not to worry, to feel better and get there when we could and they would put us on another boat! How often do you find customer service like that????? When we checked in, the gentleman was kind and there was no problems. Everything was easy! From finding it, parking, finding the office and to getting on the boat was so easy! With three kids, that can be difficult. I recommend this to everyone! The kids are begging to go back, and I can not blame them!!!! I am wanting to go back too!

Do Not take this trip
Sun, Mar 8  12:00 PM huntsme Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
This is the second time we tried this trip. Last year we went in April & saw no whales. This time we tried March. We only saw 2 whales & we never got to see much of them out of the water. We saw just their back hump. I don't know why we continued to follow the same two whales instead of going a little further to find more. The trip was only 2 hrs & once the whales go under they don't come back up for a long period of time. It was an absolute worthless trip & definately not worth the money. I love whales, but from this experience my boyfriend will never go whale watching with me again.
