Friendly, knowledgeable staff greeted us and started it the trip wonderfully! Weather was clear and 70°, beautiful! During the ride the lady on the speaker, called a naturalist I believe, kept us informed of the ocean, the sea life we were seeing and what to look for as far as spotting a whale or dolphins. We headed south for 30 minutes but saw nothing so we headed back north, saw plenty of birds and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins then things get exciting as a whale is spotted. It turned out to be TWO Gray Whales, once the got closer to us we began to parallel them for a while, then the dolphins started on the same course. It was amazing! After 45 minutes of watching the whales & dolphins fog rolled in, literally from nowhere. We began to motor back to the harbor taking it slow and ended the trip 15 minutes early, the crew gave us 50% off coupons, wasn't necessary though, it was only 15 minutes and we had a great trip. The galley had plenty of choices, a bit expensive on the beer at $7, other than that, an excellent company and trip?
