Incredible adventure, lots of fun! - We had an amazing time!!! Highly recommend. Very professional team both at the dock and Capt Rick. My wife and were both glad to chose the small group /fast boat tour operator. With the quiet engine, we could hear the whales spouting before they broke the surface. We decided to go whale watching as an afterthought. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip. We saw a large Fin whale make several dives, and a Blue whale. On the way back in, Capt Rick took a small detour to show us a group of dolphins (50+) he spotted feeding on a school of sardines.

10/10 whale watching! - Magical whale watching experience! Captain Kyle was informative, professional and fun! He took care of us and tracked down Fin whales, dolphins, mola molas, and sea lions. The smaller boat experience allowed us to get much closer to the smaller sea life. I highly recommend this tour and hope to do it again!

Wonderful experience - I was a little leery doing this because of the boat and unsure if we would see any wildlife. Our captain was Brock and he was fantastic. He was very informative and took care of us. We saw sea lions, three different types of dolphins and a couple of whales. He was very good explaining what each one was. I do recommend taking the snowsuit that they offer. It does get chilly out there on the water. Our day was mostly cloudy with some peaks of sun, and it was definitely a little chilly when we were going through the ocean. If you have back issues and or motion, sickness, I would recommend not doing this tour. It is a lot of bouncing. The tour did last the full three hours and is one of the better experiences I have had whale watching. If I ever come back to San Diego, I’ll be doing this again. It was worth every penny.

Great experience! - Amazing experience, saw a whale and lots of dolphins. The team was very nice and knowledgeable. The people with us were a nice family who we had pleasant Interactions with .

Perfect afternoon - Great afternoon Brick was an excellent skipper Though we didnt get to see any whales we saw an abundance of dolphins as well as seals during the afternoon It was a perfect afternoon and i would highly recommend !

Not your average whale watch - Unfortunately we were unable to find a whale but it was a blast. The boat was a 6 seater zodiac which in itself was fun. We did see a dolphin and many sea lions close up. The captain, Kyle, was informative and humorous. I highly recommend

Incredible!! - This was a phenomenal experience . Captain Rick was determined to find us whales and dolphins and he did not fail. We got very close to 4-5 gray whales and were able to see them very close up. Then he found hundreds of dolphins - Bottle Nose and the very rare white Risso dolphin. The Captain said he only sees the Rissos 4 times a year. The boat is fast with only 6 passengers and is a lot of fun ( but cold). I would highly recommend Captain Rick- he found these rare animals on his own instinct and was very knowledgeable.

Great fun!!! - Got really lucky the day we went out with Captain Bree! She was fantastic giving us just the right amount of information, ensuring our safety, and getting us as close as legally possible to the sealife. Ride in the Zodiac was a thrill, too!

Passenger Pounding - As a follow-up to my prior review, two hours of getting beat-up and tossed around on Adventure's Zodiac inflatable (again, this ride set off a "have you fallen" message on my wife's iPhone) triggered a severe sciatica reaction from my wife. Something she previously has never been bothered by. We are now home and she is in bed and in pain. Again, just because Adventure is choosing to run the trip, don't assume conditions will be enjoyable or that the captain will slow down. At one point he asked passengers to raise their hand if they were uncomfortable. Which he did for maybe 30 seconds after she raised her hand. Afterall, the whale sighting was 20 miles offshore and we only had an hour to get there. Screw the sea conditions. It is not as though we are inexperienced boaters. We have owned and been around boats for many years. Including sailing and racing Hobie Cats.

If you value your back, don't do this - An extremely unpleasant experience. The session after ours canceled and ours should have been. We spent an hour POUNDING into waves to get to where there might be a whale. About half way there my wife's iPhone alarm went off saying it appeared she had taken a hard fall. Not so. Just riding in the boat. On the way back, after the last really hard jolt, she was in tears from back pain. Our reward? Zero dolphins and a single very brief whale sighting. I can't believe I paid $250 to do this.
