Rain day...

Though it was a rainy day and we didn't see any whales the crew kept us out longer than one hour and gave us vouchers for another cruise. Good times!

NOT worth the price
Sat, Mar 1, 08   10:00 AM Zorayda Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
I read other reviews and hoped our luck to be different but honest truth is that this was not worth the price. The boat ride was nice but all we saw were two small whale tails. We didn't see and dolphins either. It's like we just paid for the boat ride. The folks inside the shop are not too welcoming either. I think it's due to the fact that they are busy and there are several things going on in the shop. The gal asked me for proof of my purchased tickets, I showed it to her and she took it from my hand without asking me if I need anything from the pages attached (I printed festival info, etc.). She handed me two tickets and pointed to the side saying "dock number 1". She did not make eye contact and never smiled or said hello.

Highly reccommend the whale watching out of Dana Point. Crew are always professional and helpful, and trips have always found something... whales or dolphins.

Good time

We came at a bad time of the year for fishing seasons, but still had fun. We caught a few fish, and were treated good. The staff was helpful and always kept busy. I would recommend this service.

Amazing!

This was an incredible trip. We ended up in the middle of a pod of dophins. They were playing with the boat we were on. Jumping out of the water and swimming all around us. Absoulutly glorious. The captain kept us out there as long as he could, it was great! The captain and crew were very informative and accomodating. I would highly recommend this trip. I know we will be going again.

Whale Watching Tuesday
Tue, Feb 19, 08   10:00 AM jason8096 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We enjoyed ourselves so much on Tuesday's 10 am Whale Watching trip. It was easy to get the tickets (though we stood in line outside first--it's inside you want to go.) The boat was the perfect size; any smaller and my two year old would not have had enough room to roam, any larger and it would have lost it's intimate feel.

I highly recommend this event. I'm a nature lover anyway and it was quite an experience seeing sea-life up close.

Amazing to see magnificent grey whales live!
Sun, Feb 17, 08   2:00 PM roowohoo Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The captain of our Whale Watching trip has been doing this since 1989. He is extremely knowledgeable and I felt he still was in awe after seeing these magnificent creatures so many times. He know where to go and how to approach the whales. The crowd was wonderful and they don't overcrowd the boat. I thoroughly enjoyed the views of Dana Point and San Clemente as well. I came away with new wonder and appreciation for God's amazing creatures. Worth it!

Good for family
Sat, Feb 16, 08   2:00 PM eyemtlaw Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
Not too good for a date. Spent most time viewing dolphins. Saw one whale and only the spout. For the same price i'd rather go to Sea World or the San Diego Zoo. Would recommend as a first time for kids as it is more of a family type of event. The two hours went quickly. Make sure you layer your clothing as it gets breezy and is much cooler than on shore. I was expecting more, but it was good for me to try it and find out for myself. I didn't like the fact that the other boats would follow where we went which would scare off the dolphins and whales because it seemed as if you were blocking the animals in. I'm not sure if the other boats are inexpensive than this one. Also, this boat is quite large and therefore holds more people which could make getting a seat or a good location difficult. If your more into the intimate nature, i would suggest the other whale watching tours that are smaller but let's you get a better view because there is more space to move around the boat during the trip because the animals go on either side of the boat so moving from one side to another is important.

We had a great time! We didn't even have to go far off shore before we spotted the first whale. The dolphins were the most exciting part of the trip. I plan to go again when the blue whales are here!

Three of us went, the sea was calm, the weather was warm & we had a fantastic time. We saw four whales and a multitude of dolphins. Highly recommended for any age group!
