It was an overcast and chilly day but a great experience being out on the ocean! Unfortunately I didn’t get to see any whales but there was a huge pod of dolphins and another type of dolphin pod which made my first visit very memorable. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

"Dana wharf’s whale watching"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Went with my sister visiting from India. I have done this trip last year with my daughter and we saw whales and pods of dolphins. This time same crew sane boat and we got to see hundreds and hundreds of pods of dolphins following our boat for a good 50-55 minutes. It was unbelievable. Our captain, guide and crew were very well informed and very friendly and helpful. Did not see whales this time but both trips were worth every penny we spent on them. A great way to spend the New Year’s Eve at 9 am on the boat from dock 6. Will probably do this once every year.

"Where are the Dolphins and Whales"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 17, 2024 NEW
Recently we went on a two hours tour and were excited to see some Dolphins out in the wild. Wasn't expecting whale(s) if we're lucky. We spent an hour getting all the way down to Laguna beach and only saw Pelicans diving from a great distance. After an hour we saw one whale and it was not spectacular at all. Weather was nice. Not sure where the dolphins were but the narrator and Captain talked up about the whale. Not one words from the crew about what happen of the dolphins that usually hanging out there off shore. Not sure if the tour was worth it.
