| Took both my sons with me and it was a good father son event. There were other father daughters on the boat and they equally had a good time. Dress warm for mornings. I plan on bringing my wife for a more unique date soon. | ||||||

We Didn't Catch Any Fish, However........ 1/2 Day Fishing Trip |
|||||
| Sat, Apr 5 12:00 PM | MARCYFALLER | Female | 50-59 | Local | Group of Friends | |
| We had a GREAT time!!! I've been out fishing in Balboa Hated it, everything about it!! The person on the phone, the boat, the crew and I couldn't understand a word that they were saying on the speaker on the boat. The crew was so rude out of Balboa I swore I'd never go back and I did'nt!! Through a friend I started fishing in Marina Del Rey, which I absolutly LOVED!!! However this trip because I was taking other people from work it was too far to go, so someone suggested Dana Point!! From the first person I talked to on the phone to the end of the day was very enjoyable!!! The person at the ticket counter was very friendly and helpful. The crew on board was very helpful and friendly, they came around all the time and helped. I Love being on the boat anyway, so not catching any fish was disapointing, but the Captain and Crew are not at fault. I think the most important things about fishing is to make it fun and enjoyable as possible, and the Captain and Crew did just that!!! They all apologized over and over for not catching any fish, which said a lot, that they really cared!! The Captain talked on the speaker about a lot of things and I could understand him and the Crew (along with the Captain) actually talked to us!! I would go again for sure!! This summer if I can get them together we would like to charter one of your boats for our firm!!! Looks like I have found a new home, I go fishing quite often (usually by myself) and I will definitely be back to visit you again and I wouldn't even bat an eye about going alone!!! Thank You So Much for making our trip so enjoyable. The two other people that I went with had never gone deep sea fishing and on the boat they were both talking about next time. When I arrived at work on Monday they thanked me for inviting them along and they could hardly wait till the next time!!! Good On YOU!!! Please give a special thanks to the Captain and Crew and please tell the kid that got his wisdom teeth removed that I hope he's feeling better!!! Thank you again so very, very much!!!

Very disappointed again 1/2 Day Fishing Trip |
|||||
| Sat, Apr 5 12:00 PM | ad6ymkg6 | Male | 40-49 | Local | Family With Children | |
| Third trip with no fish caught. There were only four fish caught the whole trip. I believe that your group should be experts on where the fish are. This was once again very disappointing for my son, which disappoints me. We will be going with another outfit next time. | ||||||

Fun but no whales....again! Whale Watching Cruises |
|||||
| Sat, Apr 5 10:00 AM | jcstonger | Female | 30-39 | Local | Family With Children | |
| This is now our 3rd time whale watching here out of Dana Point, and the 3rd time seeing no whales. For the first 45 minutes we saw nothing, but then came across a very large pod of playful dolphins. This is in no way the fault of the guides, but still dissapointing. The kids ages 3 and 6 loved it regardles. We will probably give it one more shot next year, and then we will be done with it! | ||||||

Great Trip 1/2 Day Fishing Trip |

| Please let the owners of the Reel Fishing boat know how much we enjoyed the trip. We were very impressed with Zach and the rest of the crew. Their attitudes were great, they were very helpful, and made us feel like they were there to help with whatever our needs might be. I will come back. | ||||||

Just Do It!! Whale Watching Cruises |
|||||

| If you're a tourist in Southern California and have stood in line for all of your other activities, you'll love this Whale-Watching tour! Dana Point is beautiful and the wharf area is manageable and pleasant - no lines (and if there are lines, they'll be short ones). The tour operators are knowledgeable and very friendly. The tour boat is large and comfortable and, on the day we participated, it just skimmed smoothly on the water. My wife and I had a great time and plan on doing it again. Oh, did I mention we didn't see any whales? It didn't matter to us, it was still a fun day and we understand that whales have a mind of their own and don't always read the script! Just make up your mind that you'll have a great time and you will. | ||||||

Fantastic! Whale Watching Cruises |

| Crew was great. Saw several whale flukes. Saw Gray whale mom and calf along with several schools of playful bottlenose dolphins. One dolphin even performed a great flip out of the water! Learned what a "footprint" was and will continue to look for that. | ||||||

Whales only at 12:00 Whale Watching Cruises |
|||||
| Tue, Apr 1 10:00 AM | PatJohnston | Female | 50-59 | Local | Family With Children | |
| Whales were only at 12:00 only the people on the front of the boat got to see them but the people on the sides and back only got a glimpse. People in the front of the boat pushed the small children out ot the way and they didn't get to see. Next time spin the boat around a little. | ||||||

Great adventure to take teenage girls on Whale Watching Cruises |
|||||
| Tue, Apr 1 10:00 AM | cindyschultz | Female | 50-59 | Local | Unspecified | |
| I took two teenage nieces (15 & 17) visiting from MI on this Whale Watching adventure. They absolutely loved being on a boat in the harbor and seeing the dolphins so close they could almost touch them. We were all delighted to see the whales, especially the mother and calf. A seal popped his head out of wave quite unexpectedly and gave us all a good chuckle. My nieces were quite excited by this activity and besides enjoying it myself, it heightened the experience to be able to share it with my nieces. The crew was very friendly, polite, and knowledgable. | ||||||

It was okay 1/2 Day Fishing Trip |

| Tue, Apr 1 6:30 AM | babybecky | Male | 20-29 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Individual | |
| I called ahead and asked about poles/tackle and they gave me the wrong advise so I brought the wrong stuff for the trip, so that kind of sucked. I wish I would of been given more accurate information so I could of enjoyed the trip better. Needless to say, I didn't catch anything! | ||||||

One of the best whale watching experiences ever! Whale Watching Cruises |
|||||
| Mon, Mar 31 2:00 PM | bugmenot | Female | Unspecified | Local | Couple on a Date | |
| What started as a local jaunt to celebrate a birthday turned out to be one of the best whale watching experiences we've ever had. As our ship headed back to Dana Point harbor at the end of the trip, our captain spotted a pod of about a hundred dolphins in the distance. He turned the ship around to follow the pod even though we had come to the end of the tour. Our ship was surrounded by dolphins leaping out of the water -- truly a joyous experience. Granted, we were extremely lucky to find the pod, but kudos to the captain for spotting the pod and delaying our return to the harbor to give us this experience. | ||||||

Friendly Service & Awesome Experience Whale Watching Cruises |

| Mon, Mar 31 10:00 AM | turtle_kml | Female | 20-29 | Combination | Group of Friends | |
| Whale watching is a great activity for people of any age. While we were out we saw 2 whales & watched for at least 20 minutes, plus saw a few dolphins and lots of California Sea Lions. The boat crew was very knowledgeable and helpful in pointing out the wildlife and telling a bit about them. They were very friendly from the first greeting to inviting us to come back again when we left. I will definitely go whale watching at Dana Wharf again. | ||||||

Fulfilling and Rewarding Cruise for Whales Whale Watching Cruises |
|||||
| Sun, Mar 30 2:00 PM | davebedell | Male | 60-69 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Other | |
| Seas were slightly rough though the sun was shining brightly as my wife and her cousin (an L.A. resident) scanned the seas for marine life. We saw several gray whales blowing spouts and arching their backs out of the water near the cruise boat. On a couple occasions, we were able to clearly see the whales' blow holes and the barnacles, crustaceans, and other features of the whales' backs and skin. We also saw whale flukes on two occasions being raised from the sea surface just as or just before the whales dove into the sea. We also saw several dolphins arcing out of the water, three at a time swimming in unison and exposing themselves to our view off the side of the cruise boat. Our guides were quite knowledgeable about the whales and kept us informed about sightings and whale/dolphin locations relative to our boat's position. Our 7x birding binoculars were quite helpful in viewing the whales and dolphins as these mammals kept a bit of distance between themselves and our cruise boat. Our party of three (including my wife and I from out of state) felt this a rewarding and exciting experience, though it was a bit short (a little less than two hours all told considering maneuvering and docking the vessel, exiting and entering the harbor, etc.). My wife's cousin & L.A. resident is looking forward to returning in July for a cruise to view Great Blue Whales, which our guide informed us often frequent these waters at that time of year. | ||||||
