The weather was nice and we were able to watch the sunset off the water. No whales but plenty of other sightings.

Not Worth It
Fri, Feb 15, 08   10:00 AM krdolkas Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
We spent two hours on a boat to see barley anything. I understand that they cannot do anything about how many whales you see or where the whales will be, but all we saw was the top of a whale and then turned around and went home. It was not even close to worth the amount we paid. I'm surprised we didn't get a free voucher after we wasted two hours to see nothing. I definitely would not do that again.

Good experience

We had a good time. We didn't get to see any whales but saw plenty of dolphins and the crew made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take photographs. The crew also had cookies downstairs for Valentine's Day for free! Our day was windy, rainy and rough water but we enjoyed ourselves.

We had so much fun!!

This was a GREAT trip!! We saw 4 whales and got a wonderful photo of a whale. The staff was very knowledgeable and conversant in whale behavior. The guy that was the speaker missed his calling as a Whale docent for Sea World!! I would recommend this trip to anyone and well worth the $29.00!!

A great whale-watching excursion
Fri, Feb 8, 08   12:00 PM mpadugan Male 50-59 Combination Group of Friends
This short (2 hour) boat trip was a great time. We saw a huge school (pod?) of dolphins - around 1000! We also saw whales although they were being reclusive and not showing much of themselves out of the water. The birdlife was very extensive - hundreds of cormorants, pelicans, etc. We also passed by a buoy to see a group of sea lions. The captain was knowledgeable about sealife and gave a good amount of information about it. I would highly recommend this trip.

Good Crew

The captain and crew were very nice and easy to get along with. We didn't go very far out maybe 2-3 miles. Stoped a few times to fish, but didn't do to well. We did get a few keepers. There were 14 in our group. Nice day at sea, but the sun didn't come out much. Better luck next time. We would go out again anytime with this crew.

definitely recommended!

My friend from Oklahoma and I went on the whale-watching cruise on 1/20/08 (sunday). The staff were kind and professional, and we had a wonderful trip. We did not see any whales, but we did run into a wonderfully playful group of "common dolphins" (i would say around 100) playing in the ocean. The captain turned the boat around so we could experience the dolphins to the fullest. it was delightful i would definitely recommend it to anyone! i will definitely take my family when they visit later this spring.

Friendly and helpful guides!

Would have preferred to have caught larger fish, however, I understand that seasonal fishing has been poor recently. The trip was fun and educational. Had a great time! This was my first ocean fishing trip and because it was such a positive experience, I will do it again!

just a thought

Well, that day's cruise didn't give us what we were expected: seeing any dolphins or whales. We did have a great time, after a whole week's hard work. Perhaps some kind of tracking, or surveilance from certain source, would be able to provide some kind of guidance. We enjoyed the cruise anyway. Keep up the good work!

Luck has everything to do with it
Fri, Jan 11, 08   2:00 PM dana129 Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
The crew was great, as was the boat... but the whales... they didn't feel like cooperating... We only saw a few dolphins. That part was very cool, but we see dolphins from the shore allot so it was not that exciting. I guess the day we choose was just unlucky for us. Will definitely go back and try again...
