We saw whales and dolphins!
Tue, Feb 5, 08   2:00 PM Lyons13 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We were fortunate to see 2 gray whales and 2 dolphins actively playing, it is not often that this happens, it was fabulous! Smooth transaction of buying e-tickets online, submitted the confirmation and received the tickets.

I would highly recommend this trip. We saw several whale and dolphin throughout most of the 2 hour trip. The amenities on the boat are plentiful, and the crew was very friendly and informative about the sights we were seeing.

Great Time -- Will Definitely Go Again!
Fri, Feb 8, 08   12:00 PM linnea1829 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We had family visiting and decided to take them out on this whale watch. It was a beautiful day and we so enjoyed the cruise. We only saw one whale but we saw literally hundreds of dolphins swimming so close to our boat that my just turned 2-year old could really see them. I would highly recommend this cruise!

A great whale-watching excursion
Fri, Feb 8, 08   12:00 PM mpadugan Male 50-59 Combination Group of Friends
This short (2 hour) boat trip was a great time. We saw a huge school (pod?) of dolphins - around 1000! We also saw whales although they were being reclusive and not showing much of themselves out of the water. The birdlife was very extensive - hundreds of cormorants, pelicans, etc. We also passed by a buoy to see a group of sea lions. The captain was knowledgeable about sealife and gave a good amount of information about it. I would highly recommend this trip.

Copyright Society Enjoys the Whales
Fri, Feb 8, 08   4:00 PM AmyNickerson Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
I am the Administrator for the Copyright Society of the USA. We recently have a meeting at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott. I located your information from their website and looked in to booking the tour for the group. In the past, most of tour had consisted of 10-15 people. I ended up with about 52 people on the tour and we lucked out since our group was the only group they enjoyed them selves even more. They had a fantastic time. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The Group enjoyed it so much I went back myself the next day.

A Beautiful Day
Sat, Feb 9, 08   12:00 PM sharonhumphr Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
The sun was out after several rainy days and the sky was so blue and we wanted a day out. The boat ride was beautiful and calming and even though we didn't see any whales or dolphins we still loved the outing. The fact that we can go again when ever we are ready is a bonus. It was amazing to be on the ocean and be able to see snow capped mountains, sail boats and all the ocean has to offer. It was just a beautiful day and even the kids were not disappointed.

Nice tour
Sat, Feb 9, 08   2:00 PM mauiellen Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
The boat ride was very nice even though we didn't see any whales or dolphins on the trip. They distributed passes for another trip. We are local so we are looking foward to doing it again. My only complaint was that they were unorganized with the loading. It was a nice day so we knew the boat would be pretty full. The people at the shop told us to line up early to get the one of the few seats & tables on the top of the boat. We lined up with other people about 30 minutes early but then other people started lining up on the other side and in front of the entrance right before we embarked. They tried to push ahead of the group who had waited. I think if they had a sign outside with a designated line up area it would help immensely.

We had so much fun!!

This was a GREAT trip!! We saw 4 whales and got a wonderful photo of a whale. The staff was very knowledgeable and conversant in whale behavior. The guy that was the speaker missed his calling as a Whale docent for Sea World!! I would recommend this trip to anyone and well worth the $29.00!!

Two thumbs up
Mon, Feb 11, 08   10:00 AM 59classic Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This cruise far exceeded my expectations. The crew found 3 whales for us. I totally expected to not see any. I understand that boats have to keep a certain distance from the whales but we could plainly see them blow their water spouts and frequently lift their tails. It was awesome. Then they found a pod of dolphins and that was spectacular. Those dolphins put on a better show than you get at Sea World. My 10 year old and I both agree this cruise was the best part of the trip, and we had also done Disney and Sea World. lol The crew put themselves out to make sure you see something. And we personally got to see a lot of something! We will definetly do this again next time we are in the area.
