I had a fantastic experience. Amazing tour. I had so much fun that I wanted to repeat the tour again.
Staffs were great.

I was very impressed. It was a highly organized well run competent operation. We saw dolphins and humpback whales up close and we had an amazing time. My only complaint was I felt they left us waiting in line a bit too long in the sun before boarding. Other than that I had a great time and the boat was big clean and sturdy too. There was a whale expert on board so that helped and the whole staff was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

My family of 7 including 2 children had a good time. We saw a family of dolphins and a humpback whale. Definitely recommend purchasing the tickets on Groupon. It will save you a lot of money.

We had an absolutely fantastic time! Lots of dolphins, a blue whale sighting, a relaxing boat ride, and a friendly crew! Couldn't ask for better!

Wonderful experience with the family on 7/9. The crew was fantastic. We saw dolphins sea lions and a hunch back whale. It was a spectacular time and so appreciate the crew. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Fantastic whale watching cruise! Easy parking, plenty of seating, clean boat and great employees.I'm not a huge fan of big boat tours but if you have people with you who can't stand rough seas, large group or if you have kids, this would be a great tour for you and everyone tagging along.The experience: For my first whale watching experience ever, I took the Harbor Breeze Whale Watching tour and what do you know, a beautiful 70ft Blue Whale showed up for us after seeing a large sight of bottlenose dolphins and sea lions in a feeding frenzy. We were seated on the front area of the boat that views the nose of the boat. This was a good choice so that we could see above everyone else standing on the lower floor and easy access to the side deck.The crew: Great people! Joel was the main guy who walked around to make sure all ends of the boat heard the run down, prep for the ride and answer any questions that anyone had. He also spend a lot of time on the mic giving us the "fun facts" along the way. Everyone else on the crew were all friendly and the captain did a good job of finding us the right areas to see all that we could. Once we found the Blue Whale, the captain made sure we were close enough to see.The boat: I'll say, it was very clean! Before we even boarded the crew was cleaning it up for us and when we got on board I saw for myself that they did a fantastic job. The boat looked brand new. This definitely made the ride more comfortable. Inside the boat there is a little snack where you can purchase snacks, candy, cokes, tea, etc. Be sure to bring your dollars!Seating: Plenty of it! If you are the early bird, you'll get yourself ahead in line and have more options to choose from.The front seats do fill up quickly so if you plan on taking some of those,you've gotta get there first.If you aren't a fan of the wind or cold, there is plenty of seating inside the boat or towards the back.Overall this was a great tour and it honestly turned out better than I had expected

There was no time to go whale watching, so the next best thing was the cruise of the harbour. Perfect length and the commentary was very informative.

Went on a whale watching cruise last week and had a great time. We did see grey whales, fin whales, and lots of dolphins. Our on board expert from The Aquarium of the Pacific did a very nice job. The boat was spacious and comfortable. Viewing the whales was easy from multiple areas of the boat. Drinks and snacks are offered for sale on board and are reasonably priced. This was the 2nd time I have been on the whale watching trip with this company. Highly recommend for adults and kids!

Took the 45min harbor tour with my husband and daughters. It was a lovely tour with great information imparted all the way thru. Smaller kids may be a little frustrated as they will be too short to see over the sides and there is NO picking up or holding kids over the sides (for obvious reasons). I sat with my younger daughter in my lap and she was then able to get good views. Its a great value, especially if you do not have time for the three hour whale-watching cruise.
One star was removed due to the following: The crew scrubbed and sprayed down the walkways to get on the boat right before we boarded. This made everything slippery. They also had large plastic tarps thrown over the sides of the walkway, which were also slippery and unevenly placed. Due to this, my older daughter's foot caught on the wet tarp and she fell and the grated metal walkway gouged her knee pretty badly (blood pouring down her leg it was NOT fun). We had to go back to the ticket booth and the clerk was in no hurry to get us first aid supplies. Thankfully, after getting her cleaned up she also enjoyed the tour.
We will definately look into the whale-watching cruise next time we are in the area. But if they just sprayed the walkway down, watch the tarps as well as the walkway itself!

1. Park at the Aquarium of the Pacific. It'll cost about $8 even with validation from HBC.
2. They say arrive early, so try to do just that or else you'll be at the end of the line with no front row seating. My friend and I were pretty much at the end, but we were able to stand on the deck the whole time.
3. Take your Dramamine if you are even remotely inclined to have motion sickness. Wave riding is super fun but not if you're throwing up.
4. If you're going to take your DSLR and big ass telephoto lens, be mindful that there are children who are going to be excited to see anything. Don't be a grumpy person if they squeeze in for that good spot. And be careful with your equipment because the seas can be a bit sloshy.

We saw sea lions, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, grey whales and the best thing that only 1 couple, my friend and I saw.... a SUNFISH. That was hands down the best part of the whole cruise. Spotting that sunfish.

Crew was awesome. Highly recommend doing this at least once every few years

Took the kids out on this harbor cruise you the other day. We went out to go whale watching and I had a really good time. The boat was very clean and has a small snack bar inside and even offered beer and mixed drinks. We got to see some great whales and I would definitely use Harbor Breeze again if we decided to go out or I would recommend them to a friend

Took a harbor tour with captain bob today. He was beyond friendly and the tour was very informative. I enjoyed myself so much that I will be back for a whale watch tomorrow. Can't wait. This was a great family experience. If you're thinking about taking a tour, please do so. A very affordable price at 12 dollars.

Great experience!
Saw a whale for the first time! Crew was helpful and eager to answer questions. We saw gray whales, sea Lions and dolphins!

Called on the phone.. spoke to Jared really nice guy booked it for my gf bday went out today it was a awesome experience! Boat was a smooth ride. We where able to see dolphins, whales, seal lions it was awesome! I would definitely go back!

We went out on a beautiful modern boat that was so comfortable with a great staff. We saw lots of dolphins and two grey whales ! Dana was so pleasant and informative regarding different species and patterns of migration. A good time was had by all!

Awesome whale watching cruise. We got to see whales, dolphins and sea lions.

Really great whale watching cruise! People were amazing! Boat was really nice as well. Every was knowledgeable and helpful. My son even got a little sea sick and the bartender without even asking came to the rescue to help him out! We didn't see to many whales but the cruise was nice anyway because of the great views of the coast and great service. I will return for another cruise in the future.

I went on 3 boat rides with them two for grey whales and one for july 4th. I probably say about 12 grey whales, a humpback , three dolphins,sea lions and other marine life, beig in the open ocean is amazing and allowed me to see parts of LB and the south bay I didn't even knew existed. I even saw the breakwall for the first time. I plan on going on their blue whale tour in san pedro.

The Captain and crew were very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The trip included a tour of the harbor and we arrived in time to see the fireworks. The chance of a lifetime for some one from outside the area. I am going on other excursions with this company every chance I get

We took the whale watching tour and were surprised by how amazing it was! The boat crew was great! The guides talking to us during the cruise was also great. They were marine biologists from the Aquarium of the Pacific. During our trip, we were in the middle of a feeding frenzy. More dolphins, whales and birds than I ever expected. It was so cool. After that, we didn't see much, but the ride was still awesome.
Tip: It may be warm on the shore, but out on the water it gets cool. Most folks went inside once we were moving. Bring a wind break and consider long pants if you get cool easily, even in summer. Also, wear sunscreen.
