• Huge fun on the zodiac trip!

  Capt E and Amanda were wonderful, professional guides for our great trip. We got lucky- dolphin stampedes, humpbacks,(multiple)- with a pectoral wave and a fluke sighting…minkes, a sea lion, so many birds and a sunfish. The zodiac is definitely my preferred trip, but I’ll take any opportunity to view our rich ocean life. Too busy being in the moment for pictures.

  My daughter and I are repeat customers of Captain Dave’s and have always enjoyed an amazing time! Our most recent trip was June 12th with Captain Elier and his first mate Andy. The two of them were absolutely wonderful and as thrilled as the rest of our group when we came across a breaching humpback whale. We had such a great time! Captain Dave’s is the best!

  We had an excellent experience on Capt Dave's Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour. Although it initially seemed we might return without seeing whales or dolphins, Capt E received a report of humpback whales farther away. Giselle, the marine specialist, asked if passengers were happy to extend the trip, and everyone agreed. The extra time was well worth it. We saw a large pod of dolphins and three humpback whales in their natural habitat, making for an unforgettable experience. The crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about marine life and conservation, which added greatly to the tour. An outstanding experience, excellent value for money, and highly recommended.

  Great trip today! Captain E’s sense of humor made the day fun, and Janel’s encyclopedic knowledge made it fascinating. Thanks to both for a wonderful experience!

  We had done whale watching on a bigger boat, which was disappointing as there was no telling which side of the boat and wildlife would appear. On this boat everyone could easily see everything and anything. And a big thank you to Marie, our Captain, and Alan, our first mate. They were very knowledgeable and helped us understand what we were seeing and when/where/how to expect it. We saw so many dolphins and even a pair of fin whales and a small minke whale. We were able to ride and watch for quite some time. Excellent experience. It does get chilly on the ride out and back so an extra later would be advisable.

  We went on the private yacht tour with Captain Gary! He was awesome and had so much knowledge about the animals! We saw 2 humpback whales, 2 Minke whales, tons of dolphins, and sea lions! It was a magical trip with my best friends! Thank you Captain Gary for an unforgettable trip on the water!

  We had an amazing trip with Amanda and Marie! We were so lucky to see minke whales, a humpback, about 600 dolphin, and more!! We really enjoyed the zodiac - it was super fast so we could cover a lot of ground. Marie was a fantastic captain and I hope we get her again. And Amanda was simply amazing! So much knowledge and a great sense of humor! They both are clearly passionate about the animals and we loved it. And of course they have the best brownies in so cal!

  Loved this trip! The zodiac was the best way to see everything! We saw a humpback and dolphins so close. The dolphins were playing right by the boat. Almost could touch them. Captain Gary was great; definitely felt safe. He was very educated on the sea life. First mate Hannah was so fun! She was so excited about everything. Loved her enthusiasm for us seeing sea life. You could tell the whole crew cared for the sea life and also wanted us to have the best time. We absolutely did! Will come back again for sure.

• Amazing first time experience.

  Absolutely phenomenal experience, went this morning (June 2) as a last full day on our vacation, was introduced to the crew, Captain Alex, first mate Daelyn and photographer Hannah, these really made the trip for us! Lots of energy and actual knowledge and Alex’s piloting skill and spinning the boat on a dime to look at a sunfish! Photos made during the time at sea personalised with your group photo (if taken) with animals around the border which was a lovely idea. We took 2 full sized a4 photos of some of the baby dolphins. I wish we lived here!! I’d be out a lot more as they treat the regulars with the upmost respect and make a nice returning name call at the start of the tour! Thankyou girls and Alex, if we ever return you’ll bet we’ll rebook!
