Overpriced listing and not correct locations mentioned on the title
Arevik_B, Feb 2023
This listing is overpriced. There is exact same tour available with only $30, I bought this one because it said ‘Santa Monica, Marina Del Ray’, but come up that I needed to go to the Newport Beach for the tour and this have been shown only after reservation and no cancellation. The tour generally was good, but there were no whales. If you want to buy this tour buy it from the other listings, not this one.

Maxwell_G, Sep 2022
The boat ride was pleasant! However, we didn’t see any whales although there wasn’t a guarantee we would! The biggest disappointment was the tour states it would be 2-1/2 to 3 hours!! It only lasted 1-1/2 hours!! We felt a bit shorten on the tour time!!! Not recommended for that reason… :(
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Greetings Maxwell, Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the tour. As you can see, you are the first to experience a tour that appeared to have been shorter than normal. The tours are usually 2 1/2 hours. I will enquire with our operations department as to why the irregular operation. Thank you again for your comments and appreciate the feedback. Thanks you for your recommendations.
Cheers,
Chris/Manager

Solo trip for me. Boat and staff were very nice and I enjoyed how excited Cap. Andy was about the marine life. Really enjoyed it even though I didn't see a whale.

The joy of whale watching!

Seeing the Blue Whales and conversing with the young lady onboard providing information about everything from the whales, the break waters to Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose. She was excellent.

It was an amazing experience for me and my wife. Though we expected a whale but watching some dolphins jumping was good enough. Thanks to the Captain and the staff who made our experience a memorable one. Thank you! 👍😊
