Awesome experience

What an experience! We saw a huge pod of dolphins, hundreds of them. It was awe-inspiring. The crew was great Marie was a great captain and Janel and Hannah were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They really made the experience fun. The only disappointment was that we didn’t see any whales. But that’s nature, no guarantees. I highly recommend Capt. Dave’s.

Captain Dave’s

Incredible experience with Captain Dave’s. From check-in to the end, it was fantastic. Captain Alex, first mate Mike, and photographer Hannah were all very helpful, energetic, courteous, fun, and made the morning a memorable time! We saw a few different pods of common dolphins and one pod of bottle nose dolphins. Would definitely do it again if we are ever back in the area. Highly recommend!

Thanks so much for the review and recommendation! We're thrilled that you were pleased with the entire Capt. Dave's experience, and that our staff on land and out on the water made sure you had a fantastic time. We loved showing you the different kinds of wild dolphins! We hope you can come out for another fun excursion soon.

Excellent outing

This was an excellent adventure. We saw 300-400 dolphins up close. We had calm seas and grey skies so the weather was perfect. Captain Matt was very friendly and knew where to find the dolphins. Hannah and Dylean were very helpful mates. Couldn't have asked for more.

We appreciate the positive feedback about our Captain and crew too. We hope to see you again soon, for more unforgettable marine wildlife encounters!

I'm hooked

Honestly life changing. The feeling of boating along with a pod of 400-500 dolphins is indescribable. I'm hooked! Need more whales and dolphins in my life. Andy, Hannah and Capt. Marie were amazing. They even gave us a brownie on the way out!

Great experience! Book Captain Dave's!

We had a wonderful experience with Captain Dave's aboard the Manute'a on Friday, June 19. The weather was beautiful, and the trip was both relaxing and educational. The onboard naturalist did a fantastic job explaining the local marine ecosystem and why whales and dolphins thrive in the waters off Dana Point and Laguna Beach. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. If you're looking for a memorable whale and dolphin watching experience in Orange County, I highly recommend Captain Dave's!

So much fun! I would definitely recommend!

Paid by card online. Capt. Dave's is located by the harbor and offers a lot of parking. I was easily able to book online for the 2.5 hour 8 am tour, for my child and me. When we arrived at the harbor, we went upstairs to check in and got the passes to get on the boat. The staff was super friendly at check-in and on the boat (Capt. Matt, 1st mate, Mike, and photographer, Andy.) Everything about the experience was well-organized. The boat was clean and comfortable so it was an enjoyable ride. We saw about 400 dolphins and 1 humpback whale! It was such an enjoyable excursion! I would recommend you bring your own snacks and/or drinks on board if you don't have a chance to eat beforehand, since snacks and drinks are not provided on the 2.5 hour 8 am tour. There is a small snack shack upstairs where you check in if you forget to bring things to eat and drink. I would recommend this tour and would go back.
