5.00The captain was great, knew right where to go to find whales quickly, and was very knowledgeable! The whales were quite active and going on a small boat was beneficial to getting awesome views and photos of the whales!
Amazing Time! Go For It!!

5.00We made a last minute decision (like an hour prior) to go whale watching. The time of tour was perfect (930a). Easy to find, friendly staff. It was a lot of fun. Found a whale quickly, then found a family that we stayed on and the whales swam super close to use while we were waiting for them to surface. The Captain was very nice, knowledgeable and shared some local things to do/see. We had a fantastic time. We were glad we made that last minute decision.
A whale of an adventure!

5.00My husband and I had such a wonderful time whale watching. We have gone many times in Southern California and have never seen any. We were so lucky this time, and had a wonderful skipper, that we saw nearly a dozen. That's crazy for the end of the season. Highly recommend!
Awesome Tour!!

5.00Had a great experience whale watching with Colton. He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot. Although we really only saw about 3 whales, mother, baby and a male, they were super active! Perfect day on the water and enjoyed the smaller boat size. Would highly recommend!!
Great Tour and so worth the money

5.00This was a great choice. Justin is a great captain and put us right in the path of some incredible whale watching. Johncy, his first mate, was great at getting some pics for us to all share, including using his iPhone underwater!!! It is so much better in a smaller boat that can put you right on the whales vs a big boat. So easy to book and a great value.

2.00We had a trip scheduled for 9:30am but they told us to come back in 45 mins because they were behind schedule. When we came back the second time, we were told they had equipment problems and the earliest available time would be 2pm the same day. So we came back the third time and they took us out for less than the 2hrs. Promised. We did see lots of whales and the captain got some great under water video with my go pro camera for which I was thankful. They told us that the afternoon would be okay as far as the wind. It was windy and the seas were very choppy making it very difficult to move around the boat. We scheduled a morning trip for that reason and was disappointed we had to go in the afternoon.
Highly recommend!

5.00From start to finish it was great! We enjoyed the size of the boat, we had a total of 10 on the boat including the captain and his assistant. We liked the small group. The whales were pretty quiet but he (captain) put in a lot of effort to find them. It was great!
There she blows!!

4.00Our boat captain was very informative about the ways of the whale activity and also dropped a sonar device in the water so we could hear the whales singing to each other. We had a great time and appreciated that it was a small group. We enjoyed our captains' input and gave him a tip at the end....wish I could remember his name....tall slender white guy originally from Huntington Beach!!!!
