Nervous at first
Tue, Sep 1  6:30 AM dtaylor20 Male 40-49 Local Group of Friends
I usually go out on a friends private boat and was a bit nervous about a chartered fishing trip. The crew put me at ease pretty much before we left the harbor. We had a great time and caught plenty of fish to make the day a huge success. The burgers on board we just short of amazing. We had a great time and I can't wait to go out again. Next time the 3/4 day trip.

Where are the fish?
Tue, Sep 1  6:30 AM pchargualaf1 Male 50-59 Local Unspecified
Even though I ended up catching the "jackpot" fish and mind you, it was the last fish caught as the skipper was hoisting the anchor, the fishing should have been alot better. We were the last boat out the docks (7:00am) and lost valuable time fishing. We wasted too much time fishing in spots that had no fish. The bait was bigger than the fish we were catching. The skipper should have taken us to the "Kelp Patties" where there are always fish instead of wandering around. Even little fish that can be caught and thrown back will be a thrill for the kids on board this boat. SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT "A BAD DAY OF FISHING IS BETTER THAN A GOOD DAY AT THE OFFICE". IT IS CALLED FISHING BUT WASTINGN TIME IS NOT MY IDEA OF A GOOD DAY FISHING.

Blue whales are cool!
Sun, Aug 30  5:30 PM isyoung Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
We saw lots of dolphins for the first hour, which was okay, but we were there to look for whales. After 1 hour had passed, the captain went in whale searching mode and found a big blue what that was quite far away. He pulled up to where he thought it might surface, and it came up really close to the boat. We followed the whale for 30 minutes and got lots of good views of blows and his tale. I have seen other whales before, but the blue whale is something special.

'thar she blows!'
Sun, Aug 30  5:30 PM tkulupka Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We had a good time during this short cruise. I didn't expect to see any whales as it's not the high season for whale watching. We were able to follow two blue whales and enjoyed the captain's exclamations of 'thar she blows!'. we also so 10+ dolphins and were delighted when they would ride up along side the boat. Overall a good trip.

As a teacher, thought the explanations about sea life were informative.

Fabulous Experience
Tue, Aug 25  5:30 PM KenWatts Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Evening whale watch tour...saw thousands of dolphins, then TWO Blue Whales. Spent an hour with the whales...saw them up close, and could hear the sound of their blowing...a sound you will never forget...like a call from some prehistoric past. Too beautiful to describe...you have to do it yourself...highly recommend it.

Outstanding two hour cruise
Tue, Aug 25  5:30 PM Hatchco Male 60-69 Local Family With Children
The Dana Point Whale Watching cruise was the best adventure we have experienced in a long while. The captain and crew were outstanding and they knew where to go to see outstanding sea life. Great adventure for everyone.

Great !! Would do it again to see different whales
Tue, Aug 25  1:00 PM 27kathy27 Female 50-59 Local Other
This was great, the catamaran was great, not over crowded. Enough room to move around and feel like you are not in a sardine can. Can't wait to see other whales migrating up to Alaska, etc.

Awesome experience...

I have been out on this trip many times, and I will go again many more. On August 25th, we were entertained by a Blue Whale for more than half an hour. I would take this cruise every day if I could...
