We had a private sunset tour with captain Nick and were lucky not only to see a huge pod of dolphins (well over a hundred) but also a hunchback whale. Really great! Captain Nick was as enthousiastic about finding the whale as we were. Highly recommended!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise. We enjoyed the ride, sights, and information provided by our captain regarding the area and the animals. We were pleasantly surprised we actually got to see a humpback whale! That was an amazing sight to see! Plus we encountered multiple dolphin pods, sea lions, and birds. We plan on returning next year for another private tour. Thank you for the great experience!

Great tour. We unfortunately missed whales but could saw big group of dolphins, and it was simply awesome experience for all of us. We closed the day with excitement and beautiful Southern California sunset. Thanks Nick!
