The whale didn't show up, we only saw friendly dolphins and seal but overall the tour was great. The tour guide was knowledgeable.

This tour was good but no whales this day. We did however see dolphin and sea lions. Great service from Anaheim Tour Company!

Imagine cleaning your house perfectly, making it really perfect for guests who were coming over. It's a great evening and everyone has a wonderful time. But, come to find out, your neighbor hadn't cut their lawn and that unkempt lawn is what they mostly remembered about the evening. All the work you did was discounted because of something out of your control That's how some reviews come across. Guests sometimes say how great we are but that they didn't like a place we stopped or something else We're a small family owned company that works really hard to look after our guests and those darn whales are sometimes uncooperative. At that same time, I'm grateful you chose us. Thank you for the feedback

We didnt see any whales but still had a ball! With Anaheim Tour Company you get small group personal service and if you're lucky enough to get Rick you'll have a fun lively guide who's lived all his life in Orange County and has the knowledge that goes with it. We were picked up at 8.30 and after a photo opportunity at the Overlook on the 10am boat out into the ocean. We didnt see any whales in our 2.5 hours at sea but plenty of dolphins and sea lions too - the trip did come with a warning that these aren't creatures in captivity and therefore are constantly on the move in the vast ocean. Once back on land it was off to Huntington beach for an afternoon in beautiful surroundings - we followed Rick's advice and ate some excellent food at the authentic Ruby's 50's Diner at the end of the pier and passed some time marvelling at the Californian surfers on the sea. Rick was at every pick up point exactly when he said he would be and we were back at our hotel as promised around 5.30. A highly recommended tour with or without whales
