barf fest Cod Fishing Trip
Sat, Oct 3 6:00 AM	PondKing	Male	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Unspecified
it was a 6 hour barf fest - sea sick the entire time and didn't catch any fish. if i had known the seas were going to be 7-8 ft i would never have climbed on board. but to their credit, I didn't ask so i can't really blame them. I just wish they would tell people up front. more than half the passengers were as sick as I was. what fun. this is my 3rd lousy party boat experience - Texas California, and Alaska. I'm through

Awesome! Randy's Whale Watching Trip

Great pilot and crew - as well as office staff. Saw Orcas, humpbacks, sea lions, seals, etc. Followed a group of dolpins. We were able to get so close to the animals, it was fantastic!
Where were the whales? Randy's Whale Watching Trip
Sat, May 9 10:00 AM	rvgrunsven	Male	20-29	International Tourist(s)	Unspecified
We went on a trip with Randy's on May 9, 2009. The reception at Randy's shack was very friendly; then we were allowed to go to the deck behind the shack from where we could see the sea lions which was very nice. The checking in procedure at the actual boat went quite smoothly, the woman who was going to be our 'guide' was very enthousiastic and knowledgeable. The actual trip was a bit of a disappointment; not because of the staff or the boat itself but only because we saw one whale! However, you can't blame the organisation for this and they warn you for things like this on their website. In our case the probable cause was the presence of killer whales in the area so the humpback maybe went a bit shy. The ride was a bit rocky as well due to strong winds which caused high waves. The staff were very helpful though in providing tablets and bags for passengers who got ill and they also cleaned the toilet on a few occasions as some of the passengers didn't make it to the end of the boat... All in all I can't fault the organisation on anything, just a big shame that the whales didn't show up!
Go for Randy's or Princess Randy's Whale Watching Trip
Sun, Apr 12 10:00 AM	FairuzA	Unspecified	Unspecified	Unspecified	Unspecified
When we arrived at Randy's they told us that they didn't have enough people for one of their boats. They told us that they combined forces with Princess tours and that we would be going out with the Princess crew and their guests. I liked the fact that Randy's combined resources with princess instead of taking an empty boat out. The princess crew did their best but whales cannot be summoned on demand. We had one viewing of a large grey whale which was spectacular. It was nice day and the boat ride was nice with beautiful views of the shoreline. For die hard whale watchers I would recommend people going out during a season when whales are more prevalent. If your more realistic and understand that animals are animals and do not exist for your viewing pleasure, then enjoy the ride regardless of whether you see anything.
Fantastic Randy's Whale Watching Trip

Saw a pod of gray whales migrating for nearly an hour - beautiful, nice staff, and highly recommended
whale watching experience exceeded our expectation Randy's Whale Watching Trip
Sun, Oct 12, 08 10:00 AM	kwyatt	Female	40-49	Local	Unspecified
The excursion out to the open waters off the California coast was exceptional. The water was blue and clear. Dozen of dolphins, in fact 3 species, made a special show and delighted all persons aboard Randys' rig. We saw many whales and had fun trying to guess their whereabouts as they spouted their blow hole and returned down below the surface. I felt the cost of the trip was well worth the fun and memories that will last a life time.
Highly recomended Cod Fishing Trip

This was great trip took my son for his birthday we had a great time and limited out. Jason the deck hand was first rate and so was the captain. They had great equipment and took care of everything. Looking forward to my next trip!
Unfortunate rough seas. Cod Fishing Trip
Tue, Aug 12, 08 7:00 AM	gdavidson9	Male	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Unspecified
Unfortunately, the sea was very choppy. My brother and I were sick the entire trip. He had his pole in the water once the entire 7 hour day. I wasn't a lot better off. Eight of the other passengers/fishers never got their pole in the water the entire day. Obviously, it was a wasted $200.
Nice Trip--Kids had a blast. Randy's Whale Watching Trip
Fri, Aug 1, 08 9:30 AM	AmberGardner	Female	30-39	Unspecified	Unspecified
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!!!

Highly recommend Cod Fishing Trip

It is good to take sea sick pills starting the night before and then again one hour before going out. I did not get sick at all. I caught my limit of fish and then some, so I gave some away. The boat ride was fun in addition to catching fish.

Fun & Exciting Randy's Whale Watching Trip
Sun, Aug 5, 07 10:00 AM	gumbygirl01	Female	20-29	Unspecified	Unspecified
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.
