Enjoyable evening
Sat, Aug 8  5:30 PM mattkc1 Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
fun evening on the water -- while we didnt catch too many fish it was nice and the crew was very pleasant, fun and helpful. Do recommend bringing sweatshirts as it did get chilly but being on the ocean for the sunset was a nice additional benefit.

Great Time
Sun, May 24  10:00 AM MATTHYS Male 60-69 Local Other
My son-in-law and I had a great time on our 5 hour trip. The staff were great and Chris (the Captain) runs a good ship. Everything was clean, the burgers freshly prepared on board were excellent. Caught plenty of fish, although the big one got away (don't they always??) Excellent value for money. We will do this at least one's per month.

Awesome service, but didn't see a whale...
Tue, Feb 19, 08   10:00 AM matthewphoto Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Our first trip was canceled due to extremely bad weather, (12 foot waves, definitely NOT good for whale watching!) so we had to re-schedule for a week later. The service was great in this respect, very friendly and helpful. On the actual whale watching trip we didn't see any whales *or* dolphins however. They actually gave us back our tickets, which are good indefinitely! So at least we're very happy with the service overall. This trip was a LOT more professional and clean than a previous whale watching excursion out of Newport Beach...

Staff is friendly and it's very exciting seeing dolphins swimming and playing around the boat. Remember your camera, you will also have the chance to take lots of nice shoots.

Amazing!
Sat, Nov 22, 08   3:30 PM masonculver Female Under 20 Local Couple on a Date
I would recommend this trip to anyone. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. At first we saw the sea lions, then some white sided dolphins (I believe that is what they were called), and then a real treat! Killer whales!! Our captain said it was very rare to see them off the Dana Point Harbor, but it was absolutely amazing. The captain also got us right up next to the whales. They swam under our boat, next to the boat, and right in front of the boat. We were all in shock and kept saying things like, "I have only seen something this amazing at Sea World!" To see those animals in their natural habitat is one of the most memorable thing you will ever do. I promise this trip will not let you down. The sites are beautiful!

Trip was OK
Tue, Jul 14  5:00 PM Mashel612 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
The waters were very choppy so my son became seasick. I would have liked to see a more wide array of snacks served, only chips and warm soda was available. Maybe some hotdogs and cold drinks. We only saw dolphins and sea lions, unfortunately no whales....It was an OK trip no recommended for anyone that might get seasick...

where are the whales
Sat, Jan 3  12:00 PM marymonell Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The trip itself was fun, there were a lot of dolphins & some sea lions. No mention of whales or of them being absent.. Just found ourselves back at the dock. I realize that the whales won't always be around but it would have been nice to have had the captain explain this during the cruise. As the whales were the primary reason we took the trip, it was a little disappointing. The captain was very knowledgable about the dolphins and sea lions so that portion was interesting.

My husband, grandson and myself had a great time even thou we didn't bring any fish home, we had to throw two back because of being under size, we all ejoyed the day. And the crew was great ready to help when they could. We will do it again.

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.

Enjoyed the trip even though we did not see whales
Sun, Nov 11, 07   3:30 PM maryeberndt Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
Unfortunately, we didn't see whales or dolphins. Even though not guaranteed, the crew gave us coupons for $10/per for future ticket purchases. Very nice, and we intend to use them during the Grey whale season. We did enjoy the boat ride in spite of the lack of sightings.

Pretty nice boat trip
Tue, Jan 20  12:00 PM marydahl Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We enjoyed the boat ride but saw only a few dolphins and no whale. As we took the whale watching and were wanting to see whales, of course we were disappointed. We did this trip 5 or 6 years ago and although we again did not see whales, we ran into a large group of dolphins jumping up and running along side he boat for almost a 1/2 hour.

We took advantage of the Tuesday offer and had a fun day together. The tour was well run, clean and not overly crowded.

Wale watching
Thu, Jul 30  5:30 PM martkit1 Male 60-69 Local Family With Children
Though we didn't see any whales we ran into hundreds of dolphins which were quite amusing to ride along side of. Weather and the sunset were awesome, and boat provided everything we needed with plenty of space to walk around. Quite a wonderful late afternoon journey. Great way to get away. Kids (and infant) loved it.
