I’ve been living in Oceanside for over 5 years now and I’ve enjoyed my experiences while whale-watching with Oceanside Adventures. I’ve been out on the ocean on 3 separate trips and each one was a pleasure. On my very first trip, I was fortunate enough to see dolphins, seals and some whales. This was such an awesome adventure being able to witness such massively majestic creatures breach in their own habitat. The crew know their craft and have good experience with sea creatures and I like all the fun facts and knowledge gained on these trips. The boat ride alone is peaceful and it is calming just being in the open water being able to look back on Oceanside. If soloing, it makes for great self-reflection time and reconnecting with your thoughts. Kids will love it just because SEA ANIMALS!! Definitely a fantastic family outing! Pros: The vessel is spacious and safe. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are affordable and if you check Groupon, you’ll probably find a discount. There’s beverages & snacks for sale. Cons: Not guaranteed to see whales on every trip. Although you will most likely see dolphins and if you’re lucky see a playful pod! One thing that would be cool is if passengers were incentivize to take return trips if they didn’t see any whales on their voyage and could have an automatic 10% on their next booking. Overall, I recommend taking a ride out with Oceanside Adventures and enjoying the sea and don’t forget to keep your camera battery charged full 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with others! We are happy to hear you had fun! Just to clarify we do hand out 25% off cards to each passenger when they disembark (good for up to 4 people) and we suggest contacting Visit Oceanside (CA Welcome Center) for discounted tickets. Thank you again for sharing your tips.

Had a great time! Boat cruised a few miles off the coastline and we were lucky enough to see and keep up with a Grey Whale! Also saw Sea Lion and a Sun Fish (huge!). Was a very peaceful experience cruising the ocean and looking for animal life! Crew were very helpful and friendly - we were happy to tip! Would recommend!!

Overall it felt too much like a high speed chase to look for the whales not what I expected. Definitely recommend you take some motion sickness pills before hand if you have a history of getting motion sickness. At the end I like how the trip was long it made it all worth while even though we saw a little bit of whales the cruise going to look for them was fun.
