A fun day trip
Tue, Apr 14  10:00 AM jillbarrera Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took our three children, ages 14, 12, and 10 on the 1/2 day fishing trip. We went on 1/2 day Tuesday to save a little money ($19.95 each), also had to pay about $13 each for rod & reel, and anyone over 16 needs a fishing license for about $14. The weather was chilly, so glad that we wore long pants and had sweatshirts on. The boat was a little rough, and our youngest got sick. Should have taken dramamine. The crew was very friendly and helpful and gave us simple lessons, helped us bait our hooks in the beginning, and took our fish off the hook. For those who wanted to take their fish home, the crew also filleted the fish. It seemed as though most people caught at least one fish. There was quite a variety - one man even caught a small octopus. Our family caught a total of 7 fish, but threw them all back. They had food available in the galley - breakfast burritos in the a.m., and burgers at lunchtime. I thought it was reasonably priced. We all had a burger, and they were great! You can also bring your own food on the boat, but no alcohol. They do sell beer on the boat. We all had a fun time, and were happy that we caught some fish. glad that we only did the half day trip, as it was even a little long for the kids.

Great activity - worth the money.

Trustworthy business offering great value for the money. We did not see Whales, but the migration was pretty much finished by the time we took the trip. It was not the fault of the tour. Otherwise, the trip was fantastic, and they did a good job getting us the pass which converts to tickets at the Dana Point activity (whale watching). Have fun!

No whales, but...

the pod of dolphins we encountered was a lot of fun. I would suggest that the crew prohibit cigar smoking on the cruise. A few people got a little 'green' - not from the cruise, but from the inconsiderate passenger smoking a nasty cigar.

Fantastic Experience
Sun, Apr 12  10:00 AM CecileKay Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family had the most wonderful time on this cruise. The boat is spacious, clean, and beautiful. It has ample seating with large tables to relax both inside and outside. There are three levels to it, making it interesting to move about the boat and experience the cruise from different perspectives. They have a very nice food service on board at reasonable prices in case you didn't bring your own. The three men in the crew are friendly, informative, and delightful. We saw sea lions and a huge pod of dolphins which were thrilling to watch as they swam and jumped all around us. We didn't see any whales but honestly it didn't matter because the whole experience was marvelous with the dolphins and everything else I mentioned. Apparently dolphins are part of the whale family, so technically we got what we paid for. The best money we spent on our California vacation!!!!

Oustanding Adventure!

The catamaran is an neat boat ride if you have never experienced one. We saw a pod of dolphins,and sea lions. The captian of the boat did an outstand job looking for sea life. He found a "sun fish" the marine biologist was extremely helpful in tell about everything. There was also a marine biologist who had been following the whales from up north down south and was head back up north with them. She was recording the sounds they make. We were fornuate for her to share them with us.

Missed the Whales but loved the Dolphins Sea Lions
Sat, Apr 11  10:00 AM maryellengu Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The crew was great. My grandchildren so enjoyed the Dolphins and Sea Lions. Just sorry we missed the whales that day. Will try again on another Trip. We never see Whales in Florida.

Really good trip, wouldve been even better if we had seen a whale, but the Dolphins were more than enough - great trip, would certainly recommend it to others

nice crew but no fish
Thu, Apr 9  10:00 AM Danaszilagyi Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
The crew was nice and helpful but nobody caught a fish. Seems a bit pricey ($119 bucks for all of us) for nothing. Kids were discouraged, probably won't do it again due to the cost verses output.

Prompt and Well-Run

The Dana Wharf folks are pros. The whole activity went like clockwork and the staff did their best to give us our money's worth. Although we didn't see any whales (the trip was late in the season), we saw more dolphins than I thought possible - a pod of common dolphins that numbered in the thousands. Dolphins everywhere - as far as you could see -quite a spectacle.

Great Family outing

We had a great time on the whale watching trip, however, we did not see any whales or any dolphins. Maybe next season.....But overall great outdoor event with the kids.
