Humpback whales! - This was so fun!!!! Smooth boat ride. And we saw 2 humpback whales! Captain went out of his way for us to get closer even though we were needing to head back to Long Beach. Great experience!

A great experience for all! - We had an amazing time on the whale watching trip. We took our 2 grandchildren ages 8 and 5 and they had a blast. We got to see Sea Lions, a pod of about 300 feeding dolphins (this was absolutely magical!) and a Fin Whale. There was a naturalist (Rory) from the Long Beach Aquarium aboard who narrated and gave lots and lots of interesting information about the sea life, the habitats and the harbor. Another person from the Aquarium came around and showed the kids what a whales tooth looks like, and gave some more interesting information on the sleeping habits of dolphins and whales. The boat was very comfortable, the staff very friendly. All in all highly recommend this trip!

Allez-y - We had the chance to see whales, dolphins and sea lions, everything was perfectly organized and we had very interesting explanations from a specialist at the Longbeach Aquarium. A dream moment for a reasonable price. It is easy to park not far from the terminal.

Action packed - Fantastic experience i enjoyed the speed of the boat my adrenaline was racing jumping the waves inthe ocean, i got close to humpback whales just metres away and a pod of common dolphins playing right in front of the boat. The views of the shoreline and seeing Queen Mary up close was incredible too. Best experience ever.

Different but still exciting - Everything as advertised. The captain tries to get close as possible. Took a bunch of great photos, fun for everyone… the one I was with made fun of me booking but quickly changed minds when on the boat.

Great experience - They really tried to give you a good time. We were there for more than an hour and a half until they found something to show us. We saw dolphins a lot of them. It was so nice.

Misleading - We were told that there would be several different types for whales, dolphins, seals and other animals. The only thing we saw were dolphins. They were beautiful. The captain of the boat was going so fast until I thought we were on a ski boat. Several of the people became sick sea from hitting the waves at high speed.
