Great dolphin experience! - Amazing experience! We’ve never seen so many dolphins at one time! Incredible. The captain was great, and the naturalists were awesome in spotting the dolphins.

wonderful and incredible trip - The staff was very attentive, the view was very beautiful, everything was very good, the only bad thing is that I got dizzy and did not enjoy the trip 100%, but my family did enjoy it, I recommend it.

Great cruise - This was a great experience. Well worth it. We saw lots of dolphins, I don’t believe it was whale season. Definitely worth the trip. The naturalist was very knowledgeable and made the experience so much more enjoyable. I recommend taking a blanket for the evening cruise.

Whales, Dolphins, and more! - We saw a mother/calf blue whale pair surface several times, a solo blue whale, and lots of dolphins! We also saw sea lions, a Mako shark that hung out close to the boat for a while, and a couple of sunfish. The staff was friendly and informative. The captain was patient and really made an effort to make sure wildlife could be seen from all parts of the boat. There she blows!
