We had a great time and our captain & host Dustin made sure that we saw lots of Dolphins, seals and a Whale. This trip is for sure worth each penny, thank you Dustin!

Dustin was an amazing guide. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the animals. He was friendly and fun. He went above and beyond to make sure it was a great experience. We saw 2 fin whales, a pod of common dolphins and some bottlenose dolphins. It was worth the money!

Iris_G

Dustin was great in communicating where to meet and where to park. The excursion itself was very fun and we were able to see a huge pod of dolphins as well as some very entertaining sea lions. The Southern California coastline is a beautiful sight and the architecture along the way was phenomenal.

Lynn_K

This was an amazing experience! Dustin was a wonderful Captain--knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw hundreds of common dolphins swimming and playing around the boat. Can't wait to go out again.

Ilene_Z

We had business partners visiting from New York City and figured this would be a unique outing for them. It sure didn't disappoint! We saw a couple pods of dolphins and got up close with the sea lions. It was an amazing experience and our captain, Dustin was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely do it again!

AustinHalls

Really enjoyable experience, private tour is the way to go. Dustin was a great guide, knowledgeable about the area and where the best spots are to see marine life. Also, cool to see the coast from a different perspective.

We had an amazing time with Dustin. We saw so many dolphins and sea lions. Sadly, no whales today but more dolphins than we could hope for. He was super friendly and personable and our 9 year old said he fully deserved “more than 5 stars” for making today the best day ever in her life! Worth every cent.
