At first we saw nothing and all of a sudden dolphins were jumping all over several it was a great ride. My 17 yr old loved it . And I believe we saw 3 huge whales.

It was so much fun! It was my kids first time on a boat, and we were lucky enough to find a huge pod of dolphins! We were surrounded! We also saw a few gray whales and got close to a group of sea lions. Can't wait to do it again!

Highly recommend! My friends and I had the most amazing time aboard Dana Wharf’s Ocean Adventure! We were thrilled to find an activity that we could do together, safely! There was plenty of space on board for passengers to spread out and the crew did a great job of making sure all passengers stayed safe/sanitized as we had the time of our lives! Captain Steve & Naturalist Ray were so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. They answered everyone’s questions and taught us a ton of fascinating facts about whales and other marine life. Plus... drumroll please... WE SAW A BLUE WHALE - the largest animal on earth!! It was a super rare sighting this time of year and it was truly astonishing! Just WOW!! There was also a bar on board with snacks and beverages, which was the icing on the cake! It was so fun to grab some Champagne and do a toast to seeing the magical Blue Whale! Thank you, Dana Wharf, for giving us such an enjoyable and unforgettable experience! We can’t wait to go again and again!
