dolphins

My husband and I had a fun time on our cruise. the captain took us and the rest of the crew out to where dolphins were feeding, there were alot of dolphins. It was alot of fun watching them swim and jump and cross paths with each other. It made for a very satisfied time. Great job!!!! Thank you so much. We intend to bring our granddaughters out on a whale watching cruise this summer. Hopefully we will see dolphins again in those numbers. (We did see whales too!! Very close up).

This is our 2nd year back Whale watching. The boat is a nice size and it is always clean. We did not see a Whale this time around. The Whale watching cruise offers a guarantee that if you do not see a whale, they will give you a rain check that will never expire. That is great customer service! The staff is always friendly.

We all had an enjoyable time on the trip. Our only compliant was that it was a little bit crowded.

There were too many anglers on board. Lines got tango up all the times. The rental equipements were poorly maintain and didn't work. People just grab others rental rod at the end of the trip made me had to find one rented by another person. There weren't big fish for that trip. It's very disappointing trip.

The whale watching adventure was a huge success - we saw dolphins, sea lions, a sun fish and yes, a whale. I especially appreciated the captain's knowledge of the sea life. I will recommend this to my friends. Thank you for such a great time.

Missed The Whales
Sat, Mar 21  2:00 PM vpaeplow Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
First I want to say my children consisted of 17-22, 3 of them. It was very cold and windy and were very disappointed that they did not see any whales. We did see sealions and black and white dolphins, and the gray flipper like dolphins. Our guide kept referring to the few sitings we had as the kind you would see in sea world.....Well I don't think that was necessary, due to the amount we paid we could of gone to sea world and saw many more things including the above. There just need to be a strong statement that whales are a treat for the tour, not a given. As long as you see dolphins there is no refund for the ticket, so just beware. If you see a whale consider yourself lucky, but if you want to see some dolphins and maybe some sea lions, and if your lucky to have a beautiful day, it is a great trip. The Chef on board makes delicious hamburgers fyi.

This was my first time out fishing in the ocean. My son and I had a lot of fun and we caught a few fish. The crew was wonderful and so helpful with getting the fish off the hooks and dealing with tangled lines!!! The service was excellent!

It was fun!!

This trip was fun. I recommend to take your own snacks and drinks. Get there at least 20 min early to get in line so you can choose where to sit or stand. Take comfortable shoes and a jacket/sweater even on hot days as it is cooler out on the ocean. My boyfriend and I had a good time. We went on the boat ride, saw a bunch of dolphins and like 5 seconds of a whale (don't expect to see them "free willy" status) , and then went to a Caribbean restaurant in Laguna Beach to go along with the theme of the date =). We really enjoyed ourselves. This activity would also be good as a family trip with kids. Have them do some research/activities about sea life before (dolphins, whales, birds, seals, etc) and have them share what they know about the specific animal when they spot it. It could be very educational and/or just plain fun.

Disappointing
Fri, Aug 15, 08   5:30 PM vincentkoen Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
On the basis of earlier reviews, we expected to see quite a few animals but in the event all we saw after one and a half hour were some common dolfins.Clearly, this is not a good season to go on this tour.

great first time fishing
Sun, Oct 21, 07   10:00 AM vickib37 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our family had a great time on the trip. My suggestion would be to pay your crew while on the dock so they dont have to clean up while we are heading back. The crew was awesome and helped us out alot. They were friendly yet very professional. I understand the boat should be kept tidy so pay your guys some more money. They deserve more. That is a very physically demanding job. These guys are your front line to the public and I hope that you do whatever you can from a managerial point to keep them motivated and happy. We will use your services again. Although the weather presented adverse conditions, the trip was wonderful. By the way, I did catch 1 small fish. The cook on the galley, I think it was George, he did a great job and the food was delicious. The best hamburger I've had in a long time.

We saw lots of Whales!

My daughter and I came from Texas and this was our first trip into the Pacific, let alone to view whales and other sealife. We were not disappointed! Our guide was informative and enthusiastic. The catamaran was very nice with plenty of room for everyone to see the whales. I was definitely glad we took the time for this excursion.
