| 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

| 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. | ||||||

| We saw about 5 grey whales, 2 on their own and then two adults with a baby. It was a little choppy which made it more difficult to see them, but it was still neat. The crew told us they didn't see any whales on the group that went out before us, probably due to the not-as-nice conditions. I would advise you to pick a nice calm day to go out, the crew seemed to indicate they have better success on those days. Take binoculars if you have them. The boat cannot get super close to the whales. | ||||||

| The tour left the harbor on time. Crew was friendly and informational. Saw and followed two whales for a bit, crew expertly spotted a sunfish and drew us closer for a look. Only dissappointment was there was not one dolphin to be seen (kind of strange) Tour ended at the precise moment. Our German exchange student was delighted. Another quality tour. | ||||||

| We had a blast. It is hard to find an activity to please an 11 and 13 year old, but this was it. Staff were all freindly. We got to see Whales and Dolphins. Staff walked around and ask if we had questions. We would for sure do this tour again. Make sure if you got you take a sweater, its cold on the water. The sightseeing on the water is awsome. | ||||||

| THE WHALES ARE AMAZING. With the ocean in our backyard, we sometimes forget what lies within. I highly recommend you take advantage of what's given to us. | ||||||

| It was my sons first time and i wanted to start him off slowly. It was great for him and me although the water was rough which i think made it a slow day, but it was overall worth while and plenty of fun. We are looking forward to the next time we are able to go out. | ||||||

Friendly Crew, Bad Fishing
|

| I booked the 1/2 Day fishing trip and was anxious for an exciting 5 hour expedition full of action. Instead I ended up on a boat with 30 other disappointed people. Fishing was terrible! The combined fish count for the entire boat was less than 10 fish on the day, and none were more than 14 inches long. There was no seating available on the boat so everyone, including small children and seniors, were forced to stand for 5 hours and fight the rocking of the boat. Several people gave in and sat on the wet slimy deck in order to rest their legs. The 3 man crew was friendly and courteous, and our boat was witness to a whale that surfaced nearby and numerous seals, but those are the only positives I can muster for this adventure. I would NOT recommend this activity during this time of year. I understand fishing conditions can vary which may have contributed to the lack of success, but with todays sonar technology and other fish finding devices, I feel the crew could have put us in much more action. | ||||||

| I have always enjoyed your tours, but this time I took some visiting German friends who had a 14 and 16-year old children and we saw 4 whales and numerous dolphins. It was a grand tour and we got some great pictures! | ||||||

2 Hours Well Spent

| The family and I had a great time. We chased a few grey whales and dolphins. The boat was kind of crowded with people, and everytime a whale spouted, everyone would rush to that side of the boat. Since the whales would surface every 10-15 minutes or so, my four year old got bored with it rather quickly. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I may go again in a few years. | ||||||

| Although we didn't see too many whales, dolphins, etc, the guide was informative and had a nice way of giving us information about the whales and the area. He helped keep the trip interesting. Also, we were not too crowded, so it was easy too move to a better viewing position when we wanted to. | ||||||
