Got lucky with a beautiful day and saw breeching whales, dolphins, and seals!

The boat just went along the coast. I thought it would go far away from the coast.

Our Captain, Kaitlin, was fantastic - very professional but also friendly, and she rode the swells expertly. We can't wait to go back!

It’s not clear where to check in. Parking is a disaster as the establishment doesn’t have their own parking lot.

There isn’t much to see, it’s mostly a boat ride

We liked lights on the boat and seeing all of the lights in the bay. The cokes were good. Liked that each side of the boat could see the lights and that the boat wasn’t overly crowded.

The checking in process with Newport Landing was awful. We were not told what we needed to check in (pin no.) The e mail said to pick up tickets at will call at 3:30. Then was told to come back at 4:00. Them we were told to walk down to Newport Landing and was told he was sold out?!?! Then we walk back down to Davy’s Locker and that is when the woman insisted on us having a pin?!?! Why does Travel Zoo make this so difficult? The Bay with lights was pretty. All surfaces were sticky. We sat in a booth and the table and even the bar surface was sticky. The whole boat didn’t feel clean.
