| I am a little disappointed about our whale watching trip. We eventually saw a pod of grey whales, but they were so far away it was hard to see them and photograph them. Randy's Whale Watching website gives you the idea that you will see the whales close up. Not sure why we didn't try to get closer. I know wild mammals are hard to predict. I guess we were lucky to see any at all.
The trip itself was well run and the staff very friendly. They did their best to point wildlife out. The boat was clean and comfortable. I would recommend the trip to others, but not with small children. They don't quite understand it all yet. I think children under the age of 5 should be free, not $15. |

| Didn't see whales, but saw other animals, and they gave us a pass to try another day. PA system in cabin difficult to hear, otherwise, great service and a great trip.

| We really enjoyed the trip and the captain shared good information about the gray whale. He seemed determined that we see some and we did. We saw alot of spouting and some humps, but no flukes. The only problem was that there wasn't enough places to sit on the boat with the rough waters and all. We also enjoyed the gal in the shop who was so friendly. |

| This was fun for my whole crew. The only change that I would recommend would be to pad the rails on the boat to prevent children from getting hurt while the boat is rocking.
Otherwise, the crew was great and helpful and the boat was in good condition (before the passengers' illness), making an altogether pleasurable experience. I highly recommend to anyone, even those with kids. |

| Randy's whale watching was awesome! We saw several whales and were close enough to get a great view and great photos! The guide on our boat was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the subject and answered any questions we had. We saw other whale watching boats out at the same time but doubt they had the personal touch and views that we did. Would definately recommend this trip to anyone! |

| I'm so glad we chose Randy's company for whale watching. I was impressed by their excellent website. They were friendly, professional, efficient. Their office and boat were neat and clean. They made us feel that it was genuinely important to them that we have a good experience. We didn't feel rushed. They educated us about whale behavior. And we saw whales! |

| It has been a dream of mine to see whales out in their own enviornment for a very long time. While planning a trip through California for our family I decided that we would take a whale watching tour. We had many miles to cover during the spring break and had to cut corners wherever possible to afford everything we wanted to do. I found the ad for Randy's online and the prices were very reasonable. We were so happy with this company and the crew who took us out. We felt that we more than got our money's worth and had the luck of seeing several orcas including new parents and their baby. We were all thrilled with the way the captain kept trying to give us a better view of the whales and also he didn't seem to scrimp for time at all, giving us ample time to get plenty of pictures and video. Our family was extremely pleased with the whole experience and very happy that we chose this company. I would recommend them highly. Thank You Very Much!! |
