Whale & Dolphin boat trip. - We had an excellent experience. Kaylin was a terrific captain and her mate Bryce was very helpful. We were lucky to see 2 gray whales and so many dolphins.

Gray Whale! - The captain did a great job finding us a Gray Whale! He had good info and we had a great time! Some of the office staff were a bit curt, but the whale made up for it!

Entertaining for all ages! - Able to see 2 separate types of dolphins up close and Captain did a great job of explaining characteristics of sea life. Enjoyed being on boat with less people.

Pleasant boat ride with spectacular views - Very pleasant boat ride, lots of amazing view of Newport Beach harbor. Serene feeling throughout, amazing nature. Unfortunately did not encounter too much wild life, very quiet waters, just the universally present sea lions. We were offered an opportunity to return and given vouchers. The crew was super friendly and polite and the trip ran on time. Was a nice ocean boat ride, but would be amazing if you encounter whales.

Sunny fun day! - We saw tons of dolphins and some harbor seals. No whales today. At times it was hard to understand the announcements. They were giving good information but couldn't hear a lot of them. It was a beautiful sunny day and the boat is awesome. Sure would have liked to see whales but nature is nature. The boat had awesome seating all around and very easy viewing without being crowded. They offered a half off coupon if we wanted to come again and maybe see whales next time.

Well worth the extra $ - Well worth the extra money to be on a nicer boat with a LOT LESS people than the standard option. The Captain was very personable and we had a beautiful time out on the water. The amount of Dolphins we saw was incredible. Unfortunately, there were no whales but the dolphins were amazing and fun to watch!

Disgust! - After visiting beautiful Peles Castle, we popped in to this hotel to have coffe and use their facilities due to castle toilets being out if use. Both myself and my son were charged 50 lei each! Just to use the washroom.. I explained I have a medical condition but was met with shrugged shoulders and rudeness to the maximum! I asked for my money back as I couldn't get to toilet quick enough but I was told NO!! In no uncertain terms. The male and female on reception are truly despicable. I'm thoroughly disgusted.

Run away! - To flee!! Like the many comments before. Tour done in 2 hours , instead of 2h30 , a school of dolphins sighted , and seals that you can find on foot , at the beacon on the entrance to the port The name of the tour is “Whale tour” , although the nature is in its wild state and it may be hard to see these mammals, the least that would be to apologize and offer at least a partial refund of the service , which is impossible both by this company and viator Even the coffee shops on board are charged! Valuable Trip Tip , avoid this company
