My husband and I took the two hour Whale watching trip from Oceanside on New Year's day. We were the last your of the day. The weather was beautiful, even if it was a little chilly. The boat was clean, the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and competent. Now, we didn't see much, a few pods of dolphins, some sea lions, which I was thrilled with anyway, but no whales at all, and not much of anything after the first dolphin pods. I love being on boats so I was still enjoying myself and I still thought the trip was worthy. What I really commend this crew and company for though, is the fact that they stopped the boat so our crewman, Chris, could fish a balloon out of the water. It was still inflated, a giant silver two floating around in the water. Also, because we didn't see much at all, the captain and Chris gave everyone back their boarding pass so we could come back and take another trip. That is commendable, even though they did everything to try and find us a whale or two, including extending our time. A company that cares about their guests' experiences like that is a company I will most definitely go back too. All in all, it was a great day to be on the water, and a great way to ring in a new year!
