Kim the Guide is Wonderful! The man that checked us in was boarder line rude. He obviously doesn’t like him job. The downside of this tour is the screaming children. There needs to be an age limit. I paid a lot of money for this tour and had to listen to Screaming kids almost the whole duration. Something needs to be done about this.

We are San Diego residents and really enjoyed the tour. Captain Mike and Kim as our guide were excellent. We were a group of three generations and enjoyed the trip. We will do it again when we have visitors.

It’s really exciting. With all the hustle we encountered because we eventually went to Embarcadero to ride the amphibious truck. I will not exchange for the world, the tour is amazing. My friends and I really enjoyed the seal tour and I will recommend this to my friends and family.
