My husband and I live locally but for some reason, we never did a dolphin and whale watching cruise! Finally, we decided to do it. We didn't expect to see whales this time of year (although it's entirely possible), but we hoped to enjoy two hours on the water and see some dolphins dancing and jumping in our boat's wake. That's exactly what happened and it was a lot of fun. The captain of our vessel worked hard to scout around for life and he found two large pods of dolphins and encouraged them to play with us, which they did. We also saw a sea lion resting on a buoy on our way back to the pier. We feel that we got great value for the price and that the crew worked hard to find animals for us to enjoy and to keep us safe. After the cruise, we were given a 30% discount off the next cruise and we're going to save that for this winter, when the great whale migration occurs along the coast. I would highly recommend this company.

We had a great time! Erica was the captain, never have had a female captain before. Daniel was pleasant and the trip was fun. We saw lots of common dolphins which was wonderful to see but we did not see anything else.

Great weather today and truly enjoyed the two hour boat ride. We saw a pod of dolphins but no whales in sight today. Still, it was a good way to enjoy a beautiful summer day with family.
