Just an all-around perfect experience! Love that it’s a small boat close to the water, love the crew that includes a marine biologist and had an amazing time out on the water. Giant pods of playful dolphins, some Mobula rays & sea lions. No whales this go, but it didn’t impact my joy and I’m looking forward to going back out with this team soon. 🤗

Perfect Small Group Tour enabling perfect close up views of Whales, Dolphins & Sea lions. I was so glad to come across this company, who honestly could not have been better. Travelling solo, I didn't think I'd find an affordable boat that would feel like a private charter. Captain Steve was incredibly knowledgable and Jessomy very kind and helpful with the booking process. We were lucky to see a huge pod of Common dolphins, mother and calf Humpbacks, sea lions & a small pod of Bottlenose dolphins. I couldn't have been happier. Loved the trip so much, that i booked to go out again on the next boat. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone going to LA. Huge thanks!

One of the best experiences I’ve ever been on!! Absolutely pick this over the other whale tours, the smaller boat and being low on the water makes it an unforgettable experience. I would have been happy just with the ride out on the water but we did see a pair of Humpbacks! 10/10 service.

Great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to go whale watching or see marine life out in the wild! The guides were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, they definitely love what they do which makes the experience even more unique!

Most intimate experience ever. It’s like shark week in 4D, but with whales and dolphins and more.

The San Pedro channel was lively today. This Humpback Whale joined well over a thousand common dolphins and countless shearwaters, terns and pelicans to feast on abundant schools of bait. Here’s hoping the feasting continues!

Baby humpback got curious and came over for a closer look! This cow/calf pair were foraging along the edge of the deep underwater canyons near Long Beach this morning. Have we mentioned we reeallly love baby whales? 💙

Baby Booby on the Buoy! 😍 The beautiful Nazca Booby who’s been hanging out on the navigation markers near Long Beach lately was joined today by what appears to be a juvenile Nazca!

This mom and baby pair of humpback whales almost gave us a double fluke this morning!

It was wonderful to spend some time this morning with this seemingly very healthy, happy and friendly humpback! 😍

Jessamy and captain Matt relocated this injured humpback from Tuesday in collaboration with @empty_drone from the beach today. We’ve been in touch with NOAA to document sightings and behavior. It still seems to be swimming well which is hopefully a good sign!
