Friendly staff and amazing views! I took my family of four with two young kids and everything was great. From the safety protocols in place, to the information provided, to the excellent time allotted for dolphin and whale watching everything was perfect for an afternoon out with the family. Highly recommend!

Off season but we saw grey whales and sea lions and dolphins. Can’t get too close though and the whales chose not to over to boat... shame.

Wow, what a great escape from the madness of life. I took the 8 am trip on a Tuesday morning because it was the first one of the day. The waters were much calmer due to less boats heading out onto the waters. Also, this was 1/2 off Tuesdays which meant a real bargain as opposed to paying a full adult fare. Be prepared to dress in layers because the wind can get a bit chili and do not forget your gloves. They will keep your hands warm. Remember this is a 2 hour trip. Therefore, be prepared for anything and by all means do NOT forget your camera, iPhone, or Binoculars. Just make sure you hold onto them tightly. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and kept us educated as to what we might see. I can't say enough about this excursion other than it will make you appreciate our underwater creatures. Ahoy mate.
