It was amazing! I bet we saw 1,000 dolphins, 10 or 12 sea lions and a massive blue whale! Ryan and Mark were amazing guides! They even took pics of us and the whale from a drone and airdropped them to our phones! It’s by far my favorite part of my California vacation!!!!

You all, these guys were great! The one guide is a whale tracking expert who got drone shots for us but he really is passionate about whales which I loved, the other guide was super funny, kind, sarcastic and a great boat driver. We loved all of it. Lucked out with the whale expert!!

Our guides were the best!!! They were so informative and funny!! They went above and beyond to find the whales for us and it was more than a success! We saw so many dolphins and whales it was insane!! Blew our minds honestly. And they were kind any time they asked us to sit down but also let us know it was our trip so we could stand up to get closer looks. It was a good easy going crew. Thank you guys! Keep it up!!
