| My husband, 10 year old child and I had a great time with Randy's. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to see the whales and other wildlife. We saw a humpback whale and dolphins as well as sea otters and lots of jellyfish. Our captain did a great job of trying to protect us from the huge waves and finding the wildlife to see.
I would recommend motion sickness meds to anyone who even gets a little sick, as you never know what the waves will be like when you go out, and it gets pretty rough! |

| We really enjoyed our whale watching trip. They took us out and found the whales right away. Our three boys LOVED it. The boat was clean, the crew was polite, and it was a great experience. We would recommend Randy's. |

| It was a great trip out on the ocean. I think we got closer to the whales than the other boats I saw out there. The boat we rode on the "Carolina" has seen much better days but for the price it was a good deal!
I would suggest sitting near the front of the boat..it seemed like they got a better view. We saw dolphins, humpback whales, and seals. The only thing lacking was comfortable seating and the kids lost interest on the way back. All in All..WORTH IT!!! Check it out!!! |

| We ended up being put on another boat , and they had already boarded their clients, so there was no room for us on the front end of the boat. It was also really cold out on the water, and they ended up staying out later than expected. We only saw 4 whales, no dolphins, and some sea otters, so was a bit dissapointed. |

| This is the first time I have been whale watching. I loved it. We saw a couple of whales, dolphins, and seals and were pretty close. The water was a little choppy so it was hard to get a good picture, but it didn't take away from the fun. I would recommend this trip if you have never been. |

| We went on a 2pm cruise - fairly rough seas, but the captain did a great job to keep us from tossing too much. He often chased the whales and on our way back to shore, he even turned the boat around when he spotted a family of dolphins. It was a great time and I'd recommend it to anyone! |

| Due to the lack of knowledge of the Skipper, this whale watching was not fun. The crew on the Princess Monterey seemed to be more experienced and more knowledgable. I would definitely give them a try next time. |

| If you get motion sick at all, or are prone to a queasy stomach, skip the whale watching tour. A third of our tour was sick (including the deckhand). Seeing someone vomit over the side can make you sick even if you aren't seasick!
Also, there was not enough seating. Only a few people got seats, the rest had to stand for the entire tour.
Since the deckhead was looking green, there was no narration or information about the whales, birds or dolphins that we saw. |

| Don't waste your money on the big fancy ships - Randy's whale watching trip is fabulous. He customizes the trip and takes you to the whales. We saw Orca's, Humpback's, Dolphins, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Pelicans, etc...Nature at its best.
Old and young were equally delighted by the trip and we didn't have to go all the way to Alaska. Highly recommended. |
