I have been doing whale watching excursions with Dana Wharf for many years. It's always a great adventure to go into the ocean to find the whales. I usually go in February and see the gray whales but this year went in March. We saw a few gray whales but also saw pods of hundreds of common dolphins feeding at once! It was a wonderful sight! They have a great crew and also have a volunteer naturalist named Nona and an incredible photographer named Lorianah! Everyone is so nice and very knowledgable.

Had a perfect day, check in easy, boat loaded and left harbor no issues. Saw a whale right away and then some dolphins and the weather was wonderful, boat crew great. Will be going back soon, thank you Dana Wharf.

I’ve whale watched with some other companies and now we won’t go with anyone else. Great crew, clean boat, great chances of seeing sea life. What else can you ask for? It would be nice if drinks took Credit or debit cards, until then, bring cash if you want a soda or beer.
