| I was very disappointed with Randy's fishing trips this time around. The first time I went on this whale watching trip with them, I had a fantastic time. Its a small boat, we got close to the whales, it was peaceful and serene. There was no elbowing for space on the boat and everyone could see easily. But this time, since my group of four were the only people scheduled for the trip, they shoved us onto another whale watching boat. I was very upset by this. The people at Randy's said "its the same experience", then herded us towards a huge boat with 50 people on it, including many many children, and with a campy naturalist screaming over a loudspeaker the entire time. That was not the same experience and not what I paid for. The boat ride was fun and I was glad to see whales, but we were far away, elbowing for room, standing on our toes trying to catch a glimpse between all the people's heads while keeping our balance, and covering our ears to drown out the loud speaker. I think this trip was perfect for people with kids, older people, or anyone who thinks they will need seats, a toilet, or snacks while on the boat. But I was looking for a smaller, quieter, less tourist-y experience and felt like my group had been shoved off as an inconvenience by Randy's. |

| I was very pleased with our trip. The captain of the boat was awesome. He explained things in great detail. My children ages 4 & 5 loved the trip. Prices were very reasonable.
I am so looking forward to my next trip which will be within the next month. Keep up the great job. Absolutely wonderful. Dana Brazie |

| We had a good time. Make sure to dress warm though. I can be very cold in the winter time. We saw gray whales, otters, seal lions, seals, and jellyfish. It was very cool. |

| I have been on 3 whale watching adventures prior to this trip. Randy's has been the only one I have actually seen whale's on. I also found it interesting that Randy's boat was the first one out of the dock's and when the other whale watching companies came out, they immediately came to where Randy's was located. Randy's was also following and getting closer to the whales than all the other boats. He also stayed longer than the other boats. The first boat out and the last one back. Also, the least crowded. Randy's was recommended to me, and I strongly recommend them also. |

| Our family, including grandchildren, had a wonderful time going out on the whale watching trip. It was three hours and we saw a lot of sea life. From seal pups to dolphins to jelly fish to whales. It was great! Dress really warm and you will have a good time. |

| Our captin tried to get close to some gray whales but it looks like they are smarter that what you think. I wish we would have been closer to them but the boat ride was nice. |

| We somehow luckily booked the whale watching trip in between two weather fronts. We saw eight grey whales frolicing around our Randy's whale watching boat. The captain and the deckhand were very helpful, piloting the boat so we could see in a most convenient view and explaining the movements of the whales. We had a great time. We recommend that the boat should have a few more outside seatings and hot coffee - it is difficult to stand for three hours in the cold, swells and moving boat. |

| The view of the coastline along PG and Pebble Beach coupled with whales, dolphins, and sea lions in the water is phenomenal! This was my third trip and I look forward to more! |
