This adventure is A-Maz-Ing!!! The crew is top notch and extremely knowledgeable! May 31, 2022, we happen to have an incredible day. Weather was beautiful, the water was a bit choppy. Chronologically we saw sea lions basking on the buoy, a small group of dolphins followed by a pod of about 50 dolphins (bottlenose and common) and ultimately after sailing about 10 miles we arrived at the whale party!!!! We saw 20 whales (blue and fin) we saw a cow calf pair, and 6 whale tails!!!
Would highly recommend. Our launch to dock was about 5 hours. Apply sunscreen and/or wear a hat. Also they do hand out blankets but I was so glad I had my wind jacket!
Other interesting things we saw… the Sally Ride research vessel, the Flip research platform, coast guard, military dolphin training, and beautiful scenery! The sailboat America is a beautiful boat!
