Whale Watching - Got to see a dolphin stampede. It is rare and wonderful. I couldn’t believe the number of dolphins. There were more than 100.

Accommodating and joyful boat ride - The boat ride alone was worth it. We missed our appointment and were able to get on the next boat without a problem. It’s a little choppy, but calm enough to enjoy a nice trip out to sea!

Calming - Seeing the Dolphins and Sea Lions. Unfortunately it was the wrong time for Whale Watching, but we'll be back when they are migrating. Was a wonderful experience. The Captain and crew were knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Was a wonderful day. Thanks

Pretty but disappointed - We drove out and found dolphins - didn’t seem like we were looking for anything otherwise. Then sea lions in the spot they always are. I can pet dolphins at Sea World - just boo. A lot of money for a boat ride
