| We had an excellent time on the water. The captain and the whole crew were friendly and helpful to everybody. Our 1/2 day fishing experience included catching sculpin, rock fish, macerrel, a variety of bass, one guy caught an eel, I myself caught a crab. So all-n-all our friends and family would highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to have a great time for a good price!!! | ||||||

| You can't be sure about the number of fish you will catch but you can be sure that's the only uncertainty. Here's what I expect when I'm taking personal time off with the family: 1. All of the planning, arranging and logistics are easy. 2. No "bait and switch" (no pun intended). 3. Staff are knowledgeable and pleasant. 4. Execution is timely and efficient. When that happens – if you don’t have a good time it’s your own fault! We had a great time. | ||||||

| They didn't tell me that we were not going to see any whales....thought they had them reserved for our viewing....NOT.....even though we didn't see any whales, a pod of dolphin were there for us to enjoy. Well maintained vessel, polite and helpful crew, easy to find location, a good all-around time....now, if they can just get the whales to cooperate......honestly, worth the time and enjoyed the trip. | ||||||

Fantastic Family Activity!!!

| Dana Wharf's Ocean Adventure Cruise was a fantastic activity for our family. The boat itself (Dana Pride), was in top shape and very clean, while the friendly and knowledgeable staff made our day feel more like a "friends & family outing" than a "paid for hire" boat trip. The Captain and First Mate were quick to bring new sea life to our attention and very thorough in their explanation of what we were seeing. On our trip, we had opportunity to travel with two very large pods of dolphins and saw many up close. The large size of the "Dana Pride" and its tri-level design provided us with plenty of varied viewing options. Additionally, it kept our toddler from becoming bored on the two-hour trip. My four-year-old son was amazed and intrigued and told me the outing was "the best thing ever!" Although we did not sight any blue whales that day, we have made plans to try again in the coming months. I highly recommend this adventure for anyone considering the trip. | ||||||

Great Trip Just to Get On The Water

| We enjoyed our trip on the Catamaran. I believe the boat is fairly new and it showed. The guys running the tour were nice and made every effort to make the trip worthwhile. A whale had been spotted in the area, but it did not show itself on our trip. We did see plenty of dolphins, which were quite entertaining. We went with the expectation of only seeing water, so spotting anything was a bonus. We happened to be passing through on half price Tuesday, and it was definitely worth that. I would probably hesitate at the full price, but there are not many opportunities to get on the ocean in central Illinois! | ||||||

| It was a clean boat...even the restroom was clean---thank you! The captain gave information on the wildlife we saw, which was great and kept us updated on the plan of action. It's good to be informed and not just drifting and wondering. The cashier in the shop on land was very friendly and the entire process was very organized. I highly recommend this trip! | ||||||

Dissapointed not to see any whales

| Punctual, and clean and well organized. Enjoyed the Dolphins and seallions. But very dissapointed not to see any whales, I have done the trip in San Diego twice which is 4 hours long and saw whales on both occasions. | ||||||

| Enjoyed the commentary from the captain, made it more than just a 'watching' trip. Got to see 2 diff types of dolphins, which was wonderful but wasn't lucky enough to see any whales though. Was slightly disppointed. Perhaps it's not the best time to go (end of Dec). All in all would definitely reccommend. | ||||||

| It was our first whale watching adventure and we were pleased. The staff was very friendly and informational on the cruise. We saw dolphins and a grey whale. Look forward to our next trip. | ||||||

| Hard to see the whales, but when we hit a very large pod of dolphins, it was thrilling to all 6 of us from the 1 and 3 year old, to the parents and grandparents alike. | ||||||

Whale watch, worth the trip!

| Enjoyed the trip out to watch the gray whales. Followed a couple of grays for quite a distance. The grays are always amazing creatures to watch, but almost more exciting is the pods of dolpins also seen on the trip. We have been out before, but on this trip we were taken back by the hundreds of dolphins we saw this time around. Their playfulness and common interest in playing in the boat's wake is certainly something to see. Great fun and phenomenal pics (in and out of the water!) We always enjoy the ride, the crew and the tour. Learn something new each time and find the trip well worth the money! | ||||||

| We enjoyed the whale watching. The boat was professionally maintained and run. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is that it was too crowded. Very difficult to move around on deck. | ||||||

| Tour was full 2.5 hours, plus, as we saw two blue whales, and several dolphins, the crew went out of their way to treat us to a good show. Thanks. | ||||||
