purchased whale watching tickets and saw whale....

What a nice 'value' experience, the boat hands were decent, the guy working the grill on-board 'yes' grill (really decent food) was friendly, and congenial. The captain, knew what he was talking about with regards to whales but didn't talk too much....all in all well worth the $29 per person.

We love the whale watching experience and try to book a sea venture out at least once a month during the whale watching season. This last trip I was lucky enough to get a wonderful whale-tail shot and numerous shots of dancing dolphins. It was magnificient!

Unique Experience
Tue, Aug 18  1:00 PM tinarae Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The whale watching adventure was a unique experience. We saw sea lions, many dolphins and a blue whale. It is incredible to see these anminals in their natural habitat. Way better than the zoo. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the ride was enjoyable. The staff was very friendly. We went on Tuesday which is half off, a great value! I would definitely recommend this adventure.

I am from Dana Point and had never been Whale Watching. My boys are huge animal lovers and took them on this trip. They had a great time! We saw lots of dolphins, a seal and a mother and baby whale. The crew was great as well. Very nice. Will be back again! Thank you for everything.

Great experience for us non fisherman. The staff was right there to help us when we caught a fish as we had no equipment. It was the deep sea fishing experience I was hoping to have for our family with 3 kids, 10, 15, & 17. Turk's for dinner afterwards was excellent too!

Did not see ANY Whales

We were both very disapointed that we didn't get to see a Whale on the day (3/12) . They did not offer another trip out or anything. We will not be using this tour boat again.

Saw 4 whales
Tue, Mar 18, 08   10:00 AM tiggergurl Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Despite getting sea sick, it was a great trip in all. The boat had plenty of space to move around and left almost right on time. The crew was very helpful with pointing out where the whales were located and made it a point to say it was ok to throw up over the side of the boat. I was afraid to get sick because I didn't want to cause a disturbance but once they said it was ok I felt a lot better. I would recommend whale watching to everyone from this group. But we were lucky to see 4 whales that day.

Excellent Catamaran Adventure Cruises trip
Sun, Sep 20  1:00 PM tierramike Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our 3-generation group (Father, Mother, 2 Daughters and 1 granddaughter) had a terrific time on our whale watching trip on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009. The weather was perfect, with warm, sunny sky, very light breeze and light, glassy seas. The boat was nice and roomy, and certainly didn't feel crowded with around 29 pasengers and crew of 4. All of the crew were very friendly and helpful. The marine biologist on board, Morgan Ritchie, and her assistant were very knowledgeable and added a lot to the trip. We even bought one of Morgan's excellent photos on the way in. We saw three different blue whales, which are awesome creatures. We also saw a mola mola (ocean sunfish) near the boat and a large marlin that jumped clear out of the water several times, though it was too far away to photograph. And, of course, we saw common dolphins - hundreds of them! Many of the dolphins were accompanied by their young ones, as they swam right next to the boat and jumped around in large areas near the boat. Almost everywhere we looked, there were dolphins. My old digital camera was way too slow on the shutter speed to get the really good shots of the whales venting upon surfacing or having their tails high in the air as they started deep dives, but my daughter got some really great photos. All-in-all, it was a wonderful trip, and I highly recommend it. We'll be back for grey whale season.

AWESOME! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Tue, Mar 17  2:00 PM thunt1 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family and I were visiting from Texas. This was an awesome trip, we actually saw some gray whales. We saw lots of common porpoise and some sea lions. We also got a beautiful view of the coast. The water was so blue. I would recommend this to anyone who might be interested. The crew was very knowledgable as to the location of the wildlife and gave us a great cruise and a wonderful family memory. Thanks!

The Grandkids did not want to go but ended up loveing it. The operators searched and searched for a Blue Whale but could not find one. However the did not give up until we found a pod of dolphins.
