We had a wonderful time. We didn’t get to see any whales. However, we saw a huge pod of dolphins and some sea lions. I would recommend the tour!

We had a wonderful time! Didn’t see any whales but got to see the dolphins and sea lions! The sun wasn’t out and it was a little chilly but all in all it was great and I would recommend it most definitely!

This listing is overpriced. There is exact same tour available with only $30, I bought this one because it said ‘Santa Monica, Marina Del Ray’, but come up that I needed to go to the Newport Beach for the tour and this have been shown only after reservation and no cancellation. The tour generally was good, but there were no whales. If you want to buy this tour buy it from the other listings, not this one.

No whale , no tea , on a boat completely freezing. We asked for a refund or a new trip, and the manager have been rude. He asked us to leave from his shop! Horrible moment

Local company and boat. Smooth slow ride . Had a great morning and day . It was easy to locate the dock . Happy with the tour :) 5stars

The boat ride was pleasant! However, we didn’t see any whales although there wasn’t a guarantee we would! The biggest disappointment was the tour states it would be 2-1/2 to 3 hours!! It only lasted 1-1/2 hours!! We felt a bit shorten on the tour time!!! Not recommended for that reason… :(

Solo trip for me. Boat and staff were very nice and I enjoyed how excited Cap. Andy was about the marine life. Really enjoyed it even though I didn't see a whale.

The terminal was right by the Aquarium of the Pacific and the cruise was ok. Someone forgot to tell the whales we were coming. We saw a few Risso’s dolphins and that was it.

Leavie_D

Seeing the Blue Whales and conversing with the young lady onboard providing information about everything from the whales, the break waters to Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose. She was excellent.

Victoria_T

It was an amazing experience for me and my wife. Though we expected a whale but watching some dolphins jumping was good enough. Thanks to the Captain and the staff who made our experience a memorable one. Thank you! 👍😊
