The Staff on the boat were amazing. We didn't get a chance to see any whales and that was disappointing. We did see a ton of very active dolphin and we were given a lot of info on them. We have never been out in the ocean, so that was exciting.

I was on the morning trip 3 different times. I never saw a whale, but dolphins were plentiful all 3 times. I went at different times of the year for all 3 trips. Dress according to the weather. It is going to be colder out on the open sea than it is on land!! The staff was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable! I highly recommend going on one of their tours and can't wait to go again!!!

Several years ago, my mom and I took this trip. Prior to that, I had called several dolphin-watching companies to ask about boat safety measures; the owner of this company was the only one with the courtesy to call me back. He assured me that his fleet was in full compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations. That was the first thing to impress me. The second was the knowledge and the concern about the dolphins and whales and their eco-system that the crew demonstrated during the cruise. They truly love their work and impart their love to their guests. And they gave us an local history lesson as well. Yes, the water was choppy then, but we did indeed see a dolphin family with babies, and had an enjoyable time. It was well worth our time and money. I would gladly go again!
