    Captain Chuck and Will were great… very knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we had the experience of seeing some amazing animals! (The brownies were pretty tasty, too!)😉

    Janel (?) was a very nice and informative guide. You can tell she has a true passion for marine life. We did not see any whales, but rather a large pod of stampeding dolphin, which was very cool, as they were riding the bow. Rationally I cannot fault the company for not finding whales, as they cannot control nature; although other companies offer a rain check if whales are not seen (not sure if the Dana Point companies do this, but other whale watching locations do). The zodiac boat was fast and comfortable. One tip: add more bluetooth speakers on the bow and stern so that everyone can hear what the guide is saying. If you were not sitting right there you could not hear above the motor noise. This was not the fault of the crew. This should be a fixable technology problem. Mary was a good captain.

    Probably the best day of our three week holiday. Captain Caitlin, and First Mate Hannah were amazing - they made the day, well, them and the whales, dolphins and sword fish we saw. Zodiac option is great, fast and so close to the marine life. Such a knowledgable team we learnt all about all about the wildlife, how they’re being looked after in California but also how whales are still under threat in places like Norway and Japan 😤. Do yourself a favour and skip SeaWorld’s cages in favour of the real deal, on the open ocean. Only piece of constructive feedback would be to have a phone with WhatsApp, to help people coming from abroad without a local number - this would make booking slightly easier by offering the chance to text and ask Qs.

    What to expect

    Your exhilarating adventure departs from Dana Point, the first Whale Heritage Site in the Americas, and the Dolphin & Whale Watching Capital of the World®. May through October you could see the largest animals on earth, magnificent Blue Whales. December through April you could witness the incredible Gray Whale migration. And throughout the year you’ll have the opportunity to see Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, Minke Whales, sometimes Orcas (Killer Whales), and so much more. Several species of wild dolphins, some in pods numbering up to 10,000, are seen year-round. Upon arrival you’ll find free parking and a warm smile from our “Dolphin Deck” team. If you or one of your guests is celebrating a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, be sure to let us know when reserving so that we can arrange for a special greeting. Check in about 30 to 45 minutes in advance. Then relax under a blue umbrella and enjoy a sandwich, snacks, ice cream, cold beverage, or hot coffee with the best view of Dana Point Harbor, until you’re escorted to the boat. Nearby restrooms are available to use prior to boarding.
