Excellent experience. The boat was very comfortable, and the staff was knowledgeable, and truly cared that we had a good experience. The crew and naturalist were sincerely as interested and excited about the shark, seal, dolphins and whales that we saw as the passengers..

This is the best whale watching cruise to go on. The naturalist are so knowledgeable about marine life. The crew is amazing and always have a smile on their face and will make your experience enjoyable. They have a nice array of food and drinks available for purchase. You could not ask for a better experience. Today we saw two grey whales playing on the surface with the dolphins. It made my husbands birthday. Thank you Dana Wharf for all you do.

These guys are great - we saw a serious pods of dolphins (+100), grey whale, and lots of seals and sea lions. Insightful narration from the Captain. Very nice boat with lots of seating and an inside area as well. They also offer food, drinks and most importantly, beer, wine and cocktails! I'd highly recommend Dana Wharf Whale Watching to everyone. Very reasonable price as well. Super fun experience!
