We had a great trip. The captain was very knowledgable and they had a naturalist onboard to answer any questions and provide more info on what we were seeing. Food and drink were available to purchase. The captain extended our trip slightly to ensure we saw the whale....so appreciated. Book with them, you won't regret it!

During the memorial holiday, we took our friends visiting form Hong Kong to whale and Dolphin watching at Dana Point. What an amazing experience. Even though we didn’t see any whales, we saw plenty of Dolphins swimming in group and performing jumping waters, put on quite a show for us. It was a two hour excursion that’s well worth our time. Dana Point harbor is quite lovely that is full of water activities. For a family fun or taking friends out of town for activities, this is one of must do activities in Southern California

We only saw one whale but we were able to follow behind it at a good distance for a while and we saw it about five times. We also saw Pacific white-sided dolphins which were absolutely adorable and were swimming all around us keeping up. The captain was nice and knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The quarters were comfortable and spacious. Not crowded not very confined feeling. Lots of snacks and drinks for a reasonable price. All in all it was a fantastic trip and we used to Groupon to get our tickets for $20! $12 for our daughter. one tip I would suggest you remember is that you have to book with a group on 48 hours in advance so you can't just show up and expect to use your Groupon same day or the next day.
