Whale watching 2023

All crew members were great, captain was able to spot whales and their predictability, and we saw so many. And so many playful dolphins. I know it's not always a given that you will see even one whale, but I did appreciate the knowledge our captain had about the whales and the dolphins. i hope others will have as a remarkable experience as we had 1/7/23 130pm sailing.

I would definitely recommend this harbor cruise. Very informative. We did the two hour cruise and keep in mind that if you do that, you have to dock in between the north and the south tour to let the one hour customers get off and new ones board. This was the only thing that was a downfall. I think the south tour was a little more informative but both tours offered interesting information and beautiful views.

My husband and I are prioritizing experiences over objects these days. For Christmas I gifted my husband tickets for our family to take the full bay tour on a Saturday in early January. The weather was gorgeous and we had a lovely time out on the water. The guide was funny while also very knowledgeable about everything we could see from the boat.

Had a great experience! Captain Brendan and his crew were amazing! The staff are great and humorous. We saw dolphins, sea lions, and whales!

Only thing that sucks? Should have a more reasonable parking rate with ACE Parking for the 2 hour cruise. Twenty dollars is bad enough for the 1 hour one but that’s a 2 hour rate. Jumps to 35 if you do the 2 hour cruise. While it’s good for 10 hours most people don’t need it for that long

We booked a 2hr cruise, we got two 45min cruises. Not what I’d expected at all! Excellent commentary, easier to listen to on top deck it was more muffled inside
