This was our 2nd trip with Dana Wharf. The first was in August 2019, and the 2nd was in early April 2021. Regardless of the success of finding whales or dolphins, ( we saw lots of dolphins in August 2019, and 6 whales, including 2 calves, in April 2021) it is a great 2 hours on the water. Great views of the coast, and at sea. Seeing whales and dolphins was the icing on the cake.

Excellent tour in which a pod of Dolphins came along playfully beside the boat. Hit the jackpot with seeing 4 or 5 fin whales and a mother and calf grey whale. Very informative and friendly crew.

Dana Warf exceeded my expectations! It was my very first whale watching experience and I couldn't of picked a better place for my first experience. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see dolphins, gray whales, and seals. I was in complete awe and my son mentioned I was acting like a kid in a candy store. The deckhand Georgina was super sweet and helpful with everyone including the ones who felt sea sick. I would 10/10 recommend Dana Wharf to anyone looking for a great whale watching experience. Money well spent!!
