Wonderful experience. Saw about 5 grey south bound whales- and pretty close up. The naturalist talked sometimes over the speaker, but many times would have side conversations with other people. Wish he could've educated us some more. Very friendly guy though. The captain was pretty nice and really wanted us to have the best experience as well. Would do this again. Wish there was more seating as well.

Excellent, knowledgeable crew. They talked to us frequently and constantly told us where to go on the boat for the best views of both whales and dolphins. On our excursion we saw gray whales, hump-back whales, and three pods of dolphins. Truly wonderful experience.

Well organised and office/starting point well located on the pier. It would have helped if they had suggested parking. Unfortunately we saw more wildlife within 5 minutes of the fishing harbour, than we did the rest of the cruise. From that perspective the whale watching cruises, the one we did out of Santa Barbara gave a much better wildlife experience. I did like the bingo based activity which was clever and engaging.

Thank you for your comments. Is there anything the crew could've done to make this a 5 star experience? Watching wild animals is always unpredictable but we want you to feel like you had the best trip we could possibly provide each day. Feel free to send us detailed feedback on the logistics of the trip at [email protected].
