Great summer day activity with family!
Went with friends to celebrate a birthday. The boat was easy to find from the instructions on confirmation email. The parking lot was full, so we had to find street parking so plan on getting there early. We did find parking about 2 blocks away, so it was too big of deal. The weather was great. We did the 5:30pm cruise and it does get a little chilly and windy once you get in the open water. We got to see 3 whales swimming together and got to watch them for 10-15 minutes, it was amazing. We saw dolphins as well. The staff did go over some facts on the trip about whales which was fun. I didn’t use it but there were bathrooms on the boat. They also sold snack and drinks. Overall it was worth the money and a fun way to spend a couple hours on the water.
Great experience, crew was friendly & informative!
It was a beautiful day and my son and I really enjoyed our San Pedro harbor tour. We saw a sea lion, container ships being loaded, naval ships and learned a lot about the area from captain. Gonna do the whale watching next time.
Horrible! A waste of almost $200. The captain merely drove the boat out to sea for an hour, stopped 5 min., and then returned. He made no effort to find dolphins or whales. He said nothing to passengers. Of course there is no guarantee to see anything but this felt like the captain didn’t care at all. Would absolutely NOT recommend!
Great experience! The team was great they showered us what we were looking for and sure enough we ended up seeing a whale
This is a great relaxing cruise. The landscape was gorgeous and the dolphins were the star of the show. I highly recommend this experience.
This was an epic experience! We saw dolphins, whales and sea lions. The guides were amazing and so knowledgeable! Would highly recommend!
Amazing experience, our captain was really informative and the kids loved seeing the w dolphins so up close
This cruise was incredible! We saw a whole pod of dolphins, and a humpback whale with a calf. Just stunning! And the price was beyond worthwhile. We did get a little under the full two hours, but I don't think I lost any value whatsoever. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and safety conscious. The only down side for me was the number of people on the cruise; I would have preferred a smaller group. If you're looking for the time of your life, book this cruise.
