I appreciated the attention the cabin attendant paid to the passengers especially those who were beginning to show signs of sea sickness.

Saw one gray whale which was great! The boat was great in the water although the waves were quite high.

great dolphin watching cruise

100 yards is too far to see anything. In Mexico we were able to be right next to the Whales. This rule makes no sense; and if you cant get any closer than 100 yards, you might as well not go. The only thing that made it worth while was that we did run across a school of dolphins that were right next to the boat.

We got to see hundreds of dolphins, several whales, and lots of sea lions. Had my 12 year old son and 5 year old daughter with me. We got a little motion sickness but it was very much worth it. The trip lasted 2 1/2 hours which was perfect. More than that and it would have been too long. Had a wonderful time and my kids will remember this for a life time!

Good viewings and informed guides

This is the second tour I've done on this boat. Both times had pretty good viewings, and both times the announcer was pretty educated and told us lots of cool things about the whales and local geography. I'll be back, and definitely recommend to everyone else.

The trip was informative and was exactly as expected. We saw whales and hundreds of dolphin swam along side of the boat on our trip back to harbor. Well worth the money spent!

Wonderful Experience
Sat, Feb 16  3:30 PM ashimb Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
I chose this tour after seeing many positive reviews and I realize how true those reviews were. We really had a wonderful family experience. We chose the 3:30 pm tour on Feb 16. It was a very clear day, very pleasant inland, but got really cold when we went into the ocean, hence please make sure to bring your jacket. We saw a group of gray whale and plenty of dolphins. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. Another thing to remember is, the ocean may be turbulent, though the boat seems to be very safe, but you might have motion sickness or sea sickness.

A well done cruise
Fri, Feb 15  10:00 AM John_Thomas Male 70+ Local Group of Friends
The cruise was pleasant and we saw grey whales migrating north plus a school of approx. 200 common dolphin. The narration was good, the boat very comfortable (inside and out), and the crew got us to where the whales were. Well done!
