To be honest, this was a pretty cool experience; the crew and employees were all mellow and friendly guys. Plus the boat wasn't as crowded and they have concessions on Western Pride, which is the boat we were on.

Had a pleasant experience with the boat ride. We only saw 2 whales from a far, just for a few minutes and they were gone. We saw a lot of dolphines and sea lions. The boat was of decent size. Staff were very nice and accomodating. Because there was not really a close encounter with a whale, they gave us...

I was not impressed by this operation in the least. ...The staff was very disorganized. It appeared to me that the Captain was merely following other boats around and had no plan in place to locate whales . To add insult to injury, we went back to the dock early with no explanation..the bar staff was flat out rude...we saw...

I seen so many magnificent creatures of the sea! I loved seeing the whales and sea lions. The dolphins I could care less, I see them all the time HaHa. Overall great tour.
We had a great time on this whale watching trip. Even though we didn't see any whales, we were still able to have fun and my kids loved it. We did see quite a few dolphins and the boat was able to "swim" along with them for a while which my kids found very exciting.
The crew was professional as...

On October 28th, at 3 p.m., I enjoyed a whale watching trip with you. My friends from Australia were visiting California and we had a great time. As the captain pointed out to us, our particular trip had some of the BEST sightings ever. He was excited about it. I hope to come down and take another trip with you...

The lady who schedules appointments was VERY rude on the phone. I called to verify my trip and was met with extreme hostility. What happened to customer service? What happened to just being civil?
I have mixed feelings about this trip. We were charged an extra $10/ea for fuel fees, which would have been OK, if the voucher stated that...

Don't believe anything these people tell you. They are there to grab your money, that's it. We left without going on the tour.
