We had an amazing time with Captain Rich and Tailwalker. Rich called to give us an update on the weather and then passed on instructions where and when to meet. Once on the boat, he gave us a safety lesson, allowed us to go up onto the flying bridge, and we were on our way. We first came upon a gray whale, our goal for the day, we then had a sea lion make his way past us and then it was off to a very large pod of dolphins. The dolphins were jumping and swam along with our boat for at least 30 minutes. It was amazing!! On the way back towards the bay, we saw more dolphins and then Captain Rich took us past the sea loins who reside in the bay. The day was wonderful!! And truly the best part of our trip. We plan to return and go blue whale watching with Captain Rich. Thank you again Captain Rich!!

Hi Monica! It was truly a pleasure to have your family aboard with us for a private ocean adventure! So happy to hear you enjoyed the view from the top and all that the ocean had to offer that day!! Looking forward to seeing you all again this summer for the big blue whales! Thanks so much for the excellent review! -Capt Rich

This was really bad. As we were walking up to the boat, we figured out that there was really no seating. He sticks you up on a perch on the bridge of the boat, which seems really good at first, but the bench seat is broken so you are sliding out of it the whole time and I literally have a cut from a nail going into my butt cheek from the broken seat. We were with our children who are teenagers, and two of us were asked to precariously sit on the roof of the boat and it was horribly uncomfortable- my daughter and I have bruises on our backs from having to lean against the seat rail to stay safe on the roof of the boat as he drove over waves. Lastly, he is not a charismatic captain. In fact, there was not a personality to speak of. I NEVER write reviews. I grew up with small business owners as parents so I really wanted this to work out, but this guy charged us over $700 to ride in a dangerous situation and to admonish us for not looking out enough for whales. I would recommend going on a different tour.

This was an incredibly disappointing experience after having read so many reviews about marine life sightings. The water was extremely choppy and 2 of us were sea sick. The long ride off shore felt interminable and all for nothing. We had a brief glimpse of 2 dolphins in over 2 hours of scanning rough, white caps. Saw nothing else. The captain eventually turned back to shore and sped all the way back (which was a relief to get off the boat). We were freezing, sick and bored. Super disappointing since we flew out from Texas for this excursion.

Unfortunately, Winter/Spring can have a few rough days. We always try to do our best even when mother nature doesn't cooperate. If you are prone to sea sickness it's always best to ask us ahead of time what the conditions are like. We would have be more then happy to work with you to move you to another day.
