Not only was the crew accommodating but Nature gave us her best with gentle seas and lots of whale sightings.

We wanted to see whales and dolphins and we saw LOADS. I think it was about 8/9 grey whales and approximately 15-20 hump back whales, plus 590 white bellied dolphins swimming alongside, and hundreds of riso dolphins and another type of dolphin that I can't remember. Andrew and Andrew were excellent as was Captain Dan. We were told that we had struck lucky with a phenomenal morning. It was th best thing that we have done whilst being in California. Thank you !

Booked this tour through Groupon and went in early March. We saw humpback whales multiple times with one even breaching. Check in was smooth and the crew friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the winds and waves were so rough that many had to throw up. Breathtaking to see the whales but motion sickness is no joke. Check the weather before booking!
