The search for whales and other animals begins as soon as you depart the dock and our marine biologists are on the microphone explaining exactly what to expect and what you are seeing from the get go!

We saw a whale and about 500 dolphins. It was amazing! The only thing that made it 4 instead of 5 stars was that my daughter got sea sick. The crew was attentive to her and gave her peppermints and ginger ale right away!

I don’t know, man. Writing reviews is hard because we didn’t really enjoy our trip but I feel like that’s because I dont like whale watching. This company seems great. The people are seriously amazing. It is a good value for our family. We didn’t see any whales, and they gave us a 50% off coupon for our next visit that never expires. We saw a ton of dolphins that zoomed by us all the time. My kids loved that part. The seas were a little rough. I’ve never had an issue with seasickness before but I took Dramamine anyway. Still threw up off the back of the boat. I wasn’t alone. I’m guessing 25% of people got sick and another 25% looked pretty miserable. The other 😝50% may have been buzzed. We caught this on a pretty bad day with wind, seas and zero whales. The company and their workers are top notch though. Five stars for them. I want to give “whale watching” as an experience about a half-star but idk, maybe we would try again on a calmer day and take a full dose of the pills. TL:DR - whale watching might suck but if you feel like you HAVE to do it, definitely pick this boat. The people are cool.

You need to emphasize sea sickness. There were 25 people throwing up around us. The crew was amazing. We did not sea life except the sea lions on our way out. It was like an SNL skit with the person talking and people Throwing up all over. It was. Funny when they gave us a free pass to re-ride that never expires
