Whale Watching - Got to see a dolphin stampede. It is rare and wonderful. I couldn’t believe the number of dolphins. There were more than 100.

Accommodating and joyful boat ride - The boat ride alone was worth it. We missed our appointment and were able to get on the next boat without a problem. It’s a little choppy, but calm enough to enjoy a nice trip out to sea!

Whale watching not whale seeing - Lots of Common Dolphins but no whales. We knew it would be a chance encounter. Only real negative were directions to the boat.

Pretty but disappointed - We drove out and found dolphins - didn’t seem like we were looking for anything otherwise. Then sea lions in the spot they always are. I can pet dolphins at Sea World - just boo. A lot of money for a boat ride

Find a different company to whale/dolphin watch! - We thankfully saw a lot of dolphins but didn't get to see whales. The staff were not friendly and did not engage with any of us. I've done dolphin watches before and the staff have historically been enthusiastic...This was the complete opposite. And to top it off, we had ZERO clue the conductor turned around! He didn't tell us he was heading back early. I understand the fog was no one's fault, but there was zero communication.
