We were only an RV trip to California to get out of the nasty cold weather we were experiencing in Montgomery, TX. While in Oceanside, CA., we decided to try this experience. We weren't disappointed. The only negative is that the six whales we saw were at least 100 yards away because by law, boats are not allowed to come any closer to the whales. That is not the fault of the tour service. We did not have the experience, but sometimes the whales come close to the boat. That would have been an amazing experience had it happened. In fact, there was a news report the following morning that had happened to one of the tour boats. The crew was extremely friendly and very informative. They serve soft drinks, some alcoholic beverages, sandwiches, wraps, and candy on board. This is a fun trip if you have three hours of time to take it.
