Cruising the pacific - Don’t get to excited and expect to see alot of whales or dolphins it’s a give or take. The ride going out was great thanks to the weather and the tour guides were great

Amazing - Crew were lovely and very experienced. The Captain spotted a pod of dolphins and headed out to them. Hundreds of dolphins then raced alongside the boat for about 15 minutes. One of the best things I have ever seen

Fantastic - Awesome day on the ocean. We saw dolphins, seals, blue whale, and Grey whales. The crew were excellent and the docents were extremely knowledgeable. I definitely would take another trip with them.

Best day! - I purchased tickets for this cruise for my best friend‘s birthday. We had such an amazing day. We saw a mama gray whale and her baby. We also saw a shark, which I guess was an unusual sighting. And on the way back to the port, white sided dolphins were chasing our boat and jumping through the air. It was an absolutely amazing time!
