| It was quite a long trip out (~ 1hour) and we tracked 3 whales. We saw them blow and saw the fluke from quite a distance but, there were no close-ups of them breaching or anything. So, If you like boating in general and can enjoy it for that without expecting a lot then I would say do it for the experience. Once the boat stops though I must warn you it can make you quite queasy. |

| Bit of a trek out to see the whale, but was worth the trip. Guess its the luck of the draw on what you see on the day we only saw one humpback but August is out of season I think so not too bad.
Take some extra layers as it can be cold on the boat. |

| We had a good trip - saw 3 humpback whales. The boat got close without ever seeming to intimidate or confront the whale, so we had great views. Not too many people on the boat, so we could all see whatever we wanted.
We would have appreciated more information about the whales in general - the total "narration" lasted about 5 minutes. On the way back to the wharf perhaps we could have had some general information about what we were seeing on the coastline?

| With the high price of EVERYTHING in California this was a relatively good deal. Although it was a no frills operation, we did see whates which made it well worth the price of admission. I would defnitely do it again. |

| Narration could have been more extensive and interesting. Safety demonstration could have been more serious and professional. |

| The Whale Watching trip was fun and exciting! We saw humpback whales, a shark, lots of harbor seals, otters, and various types of birds. To my surprise quite a few people on board got sick. I would definately recommend wearing Seabands wrist bands. You can get them at your local drugstore for about 8-10 bucks and it's totaly worth it. There are no side effects.
Randy's Whale watching was a great experience, easy to get tickets, easy to find and overall lots of fun. |

| The water was rough, therefore some people got sick. I feel that the boat should be much bigger to handle the rough waves especially when children are present. The bathrooms need alot of attention the smell of the bathroom will make you sick. I have paid the same amount of money to do the same thing with better accomadations. GET A BIGGER BETTER BOAT SO IT WILL MAKE THE TRIP MUCH NICER. |

| Very informative and knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Wish we could've got a little closer look at the humpbacks. Did not see any other whales or any dolphins but as with any time you're viewing nature, what you'll see is unpredictable. Overall, a worth while experience. |

Great time!

| I took my dad, who was visiting from Indiana, on your whale watching trip as a late Father's Day present. It was by far the best Father's Day present he's ever gotten, and we loved every second of it!! The crew was great, friendly, and helpful, and we learned a lot and also got to see several whales and dolphins! Thanks for a great memory! |
