| Our trip was fun, but i think our biggest disappointment was that we had read online that if there were no whales seen, we would receive vouchers to come back and visit another time and we never were offered anything! | ||||||

| We didnt see any whales but it was great to get out on the bay and we did end up seeing a huge pod of dolphins (3 types) and they stayed with the boat for about half an hour! We really enjoyed the trip and would reccommend it to others and hope you see some whales too! | ||||||

| The trip we went on was on October 25, 2009 and because the seas were so rough, some passengers got seasick. I know that seasickness doesn't happen to all but a warning should be posted BEFORE boarding that the seas are rough so that patrons can decide whether to go or not. I think that the captains of the boats know when the seas are rough (I would hope the captains hired are experienced enough to know the sea) and should think of the passengers' well being before setting sail. By the way, we saw one whale at the tail end of the trip (3 hours of agony) and it was so far away because of the sea swells, that I can't really call the experience "whale watching." Think before you reserve your seat(s) on this one! | ||||||

| My daughter and I had a wonderful time on your whale watching tour. What a great way to see Ocean life up close. It was exciting seeing a humpback whale, dolphins, sea lions and such. The biologist was informative and enthusiastic. Beyond your control, the waves were a little choppy that day and wasn't for those with a sensitve stomach. | ||||||

| Disappointed not to see any whales. Felt we should have been warned that it was VERY rough and extremely cold. We were told to wrap up warm, which we did, but even so it was very, very cold, foggy and rough. However, we did see dolphins and it is the luck of the draw whether whales are spotted or not. | ||||||

| The narrator was ridiculously enthusiastic (what was she on?!), perhaps a little too much in getting us worked up for the excitement but failing to deliver. The majority of the 2.5 hrs was the boat just driving around into no where, it wasn't until almost two hours into it, we finally saw something besides a bird. There were a few dolphins but that was it, no whales. When we finally started seeing a few dolphins, the boat started heading back already. VERY very disappointing. This "whale watching" thing should be retitled "bird watching" or perhaps "dolphin watching" and be at least half the cost for that matter. I feel ripped off of my $40 and will probably not do this again nor recommend it with enthusiasm. I feel the business should refund the customers, at least partially if no whales are seen, because otherwise its just false advertisement! I didn't pay this much to be dragged around on this boat rampaging through the ocean while half the people on the boat was seasick in the back and worst of all, not even seeing any whales and just a handful of dolphins. | ||||||

| We had a great time. Didn't see any whales, but saw many dolphins. The boat ride itself was very enjoyable. The weather was cool, recommend hat or bini. | ||||||

| We went out at 10 a.m. on October 20th. When leaving the dock, we saw sea lions and dolphins further out. Captain Leon and A.J. were great. The boat was comfortable and Captain Leon was excellent and explaining things. He gave us updates throughout the morning and no whales had been spotted yet. Captain Leon took the boat approx 15 miles out and spotted a pod of 3 humpback whales. He stopped the boat so everyone could watch. The whales went underwater for about 10 minutes, then resurfaced right in front of the boat. It was awesome. I just happened to be standing right there. If I leaned over the railing and stuck my arm out, I would have been able to touch them they were that close. Captain Leon took extra time to find the whales for us and at that point, these were the only whales spotted so far that day. Highly recommend. Very nice people to greet you, free coffee and muffins before you leave the dock. Awesome experience. | ||||||

| The cruise was made quite enjoyable by Christine. Her narration kept things fun and informative. She had a great sense of humor, seemed quite knowledgeable and made the trip exciting. Unfortunately we only saw one whale, but the short time that we were able to observe the whale was fun. We saw porposises, dolphins, sea lions, pelicans and even an albatross. My biggest regret was that we could not stay out longer. | ||||||

| You can never order wildlife on demand so we were very pleased to see dolphins and blue whales on our trip. The onboard guide was very passionate about the wildlife and very knowledgeable, | ||||||

| Dear all, This was a very high standard boat that had all facilities on it . The trip was fantastic . All though we did not get to see the whales . The captains relentless pursuite to find them for us was second to none. We were keep out on the water looking for an hour. This was and still is above and beond the call of dutie. We did see 7 different pods of dolphins. Which lets face it its not to bad as days go. When i go back i will be on the princess again riding up and down on her bow. There she blows me harties Thanks for all the searching James. | ||||||

| We only seen about 2 whales, but it was still really awesome to see. The best part was the dolphins that swam with us, there were hundreds of them!! It was also very cool to see the jellyfish swim beneath us as we traveled. It was a very neat experience! The lady speaking with extremely enthusiastic and the captain even had us out at sea for longer then the duration! There's a bathroom on the ship incase you get sick, and some snacks too! | ||||||
