We had a great time even though no whales were spotted. Boat was not crowded which made for a more enjoyable ride experience.

This should be called dolphin watching. The boat was overcrowded to the point there weren’t enough seats for everyone, we only saw Dolphins at sea and half the boat was seasick and sleep towards the hour mark due to the speed of the boat and the very rocky seas.
Great day at Long Beach!

It was a good experience at the start but the last hour was trying to keep myself up, everybody on the boat was almost asleep but for $45 it was an experience worth that amount. Maybe I was expecting more and that has nothing to do with the crew or organizers.
