We had an amazing time this morning and we so thrilled to see a pod of 8 gray whales. Our Captain Kyle was amazing. So much respect for the whales and his knowledge was outstanding. I will be coming back again.

HOLY HUMPBACKS! Captain Rick went above-and-beyond to make our adventure unforgettable! Even in not-prime season we were able to get a front row seat to some whale activity and en epic tail wave! We saw navy ships, ocean puppies, had literally hundreds of dolphins surrounding us for miles and we witnessed unbelievable Alfred-Hitchcock-level bird coverage! Every step of the process was efficient, on-time, safe and delivered as advertised! 10/10 recommend!

There is no other tour to even consider, this is whale watching at its finest! Everyone should experience this. Captain Rick was phenomenal - so experienced, friendly, knowledgeable, and just the best. We got up close to two humpback whales, 3 dolphins, and sea lions! It was incredible. So majestic and beautiful. The boat ride alone is worth it. Truly out on the ocean. We enjoyed this so much! We are already planning to be back for blue whale season! Just amazing!!!!! PS - They recommend to wear extra layers and definitely do so. I was so glad to have my hoodie on, the ocean breeze feels great but can be chilly.

An amazing trip with Adventure Whale Watching. Perfectly organized from booking, travel instructions, safety and finally and most important the tour itself. Very knowledgeable captain with a sense for nature and its creatures. Always trying to compromise between our wish to see wildlife animals and the respect for nature and the needs of wildlife. This really feels different and sustainable. We enjoyed the tour and saw whales, dolphins and sea lions! Great experience, fantastic organization, amazing captain! A „must see“ recommendation and btw. skip your trip to Sea World - this is the true Sea World ;-)

Our group had an amazing time seeing and learning about the long and short beaked common dolphins. Captain Kyle was very knowledgeable and made sure we all had a blast. We were lucky to see so many calves in a nursery pod of over 200 dolphins, and it was truly an amazing experience. I highly recommend Adventure’s tours if you’re in the area. Their boats are an ethical way to experience the local aquatic life.
