Fun and Beautiful! - Capt Brian did an amazing job trying to find all the possible wildlife for us to see. We got so lucky and got to ride in the middle of a huge pod of dolphins for most of the day, got to follow a humpback whale until he finally dove down and even saw seal lions. Awesome day!

Highly recommend! - We got to see a baby humpback whale and a pod of approximately 2,000 dolphins which was absolutely amazing! The Dolphins were feeding, attacking a bait ball along with sea lions, Californian Pelicans and other sea birds was an amazing sight to see. Highly recommend booking this tour! I went for a 2nd time I enjoyed it that much! Also being on a small boat is so much better, you’re not watching the back of someone’s head. Better than the Gone Whale Watching Tour which I had also booked.

Blue whale excursion - Great trip! Brian was friendly and knowledgeable, made a great effort to get us out to see blue whales, and we ended up seeing two! We also saw lots of dolphins and a few sea lions.

Fantastic time and great guide - We had a wonderful experience. Our guide was knowledgeable about the marine life that we saw. He made sure to get us to a spot where a humpback whale was seen before we went out. His enthusiasm about seeing the whales was infectious.

Many many dolphin! And a whale. - We took our 6 and 7 yr old grandkids and they said, “This was the best day of our life!” We had so many dolphins swimming and jumping right beside us they splashed our faces! Incredible wildlife encounter. Real life Sea Word!! Totally recommend. And we saw a whale.

Saw a blue whale. - Great experience today! We left and directly went to the middle of the ocean, finding the spot where a blue whale was spotted few hours before. We waited and sure enough she came up! It was an unbelievable experience. Thank you!

Exciting but disappointing - Was a wonderful boat ride on the Ocean. Wish we were more informed about chances of seeing a whale. Thought we may of saw dolphins at least. Like the captain said due to how foggy it was visibility was limited.

Thought it was private, one whale - I thought I was getting a private tour for $450 because there was three person minimum. They added two more but I didn't want to complain and ruin their day. One whale was seen in 3 hours. No dolphins, a few sea lions. Brian was a good captain though and very friendly
