Captain Kayla and Christine were fantastic! Both were so informative and knowledgeable about all the sea life we were seeing. We witnessed a humpback whale breaching completely out of the water, twice. Just an incredible experience aboard the Catallic. Thanks, can’t wait to go out with them again. P.S. Christine’s photos are quite impressive.

Kayla and Bryce were great! They found about a hundred common dolphins who played with the catamaran for awhile. Then on the way back we saw sea lions sunning themselves on buoy. We kept scanning the ocean but the whales did not seem like they wanted to show themselves this evening. The staff was very knowledgeable and were able to answer questions about the mammals that inhabit the area. All in all it was an exciting evening.

We had a wonderful time on our tour. A family of eight, we hoped for the best and we got it. Humpback whale, dolphins, seals and more.

We just had the best time! Our crew Dani and Bryce did a great job hosting us. Dani was great about respecting the animals with staying a quiet distance from the sea life which impressed us all, and helped us understand that respecting them makes them more comfortable around the boats. We saw three whales, two Finn and one minke. We also saw a nursery pod of dolphins. One of the babies was itty bitty and so dog gone cute! We also saw sea lions. The whole experience was nice. We did spring for the VIP experience and did not regret it. Overall, I would 100% book again!

Kayla was our captain and she did a great job. Very informative facts along the way. We saw 3 whales, many dolphins and sea lions. We did the VIP experience and it was worth it. Great seats, drink service, got to hear more facts from the captain. Got a great photo of a dolphin mid air behind us.

We had a great day on the tour. It was a sunny day thankfully because you definitely get wet on this one! Lol but all part of the fun. Kayla and Christine were great tour guides. They are knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the whales. We saw 3 grey whales and they stayed with us for a while. It was a good amount of time on the boat. We even got to see some sea lions at the end.

We had a nice day on the water. The weather was good and we followed a single California Gray Whale for 30 minutes as she traveled South along the Coast. She was migrating to Baja Mexico. We also saw Pacific Common Dolphins and Sea Lions.
