Do NOT miss this opportunity
The staff were amazingly helpful and kind. I'm not techy. I couldn't get the GPS audio to work. I swung back around to request help. They were extremely apologetic and quickly identified and fixed the issue. The issue was I'm an idiot and didn't know where the volume toggle was located.
I highly recommend the 3 or 4 hour package. It takes you all over the City. It was fun, exciting, and absolutely worth it.

Awesome Saturday
Great way to get some exercise done hile enjoying beautiful Golden Gate views! Eli was very approachable and made the tour entertaining, never left anyone behind, that was worth noting too. I'd say if you don't ride a bike and your cardio isn't the best, might be a good idea to go for the ebike, unless you are up for a cool challenge. I kept the bike and went all the way up to Tiburon and returned the bike until 6 pm after having a fantastic day. Would totally return with these guys again!

My family loved it!
What an amazing experience and so glad I was able to go and experience with my family. The crew was so nice and welcoming. The moderator was very knowledgeable about Whales, the water and the area surrounding Monterrey. If you have the chance I say do it.

Worth the Wait! Boom! Surprise!
It was a perfect day to get on the water. We did the noon trip. No dolphins spotted but the whales showed up! More specifically, sperm whales! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had to wait nearly 45 mins once away from the shoreline and the whales showed up! We were able to see 3 large whales surface and dive. Wonderful view and experience!

EXTRAORDINARY! Worth every penny!
This was an amazing tour of the city of San Francisco! Brian, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and EXTRAORDINARY! He had video clips to help with the information he was sharing and so much more! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience to anyone!

A must tour when visiting the Bay
This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

A great tour
A really fun, informative tour. Wylie was a great guide - really friendly & approachable, assisting with taking photos and answering any questions. Highly recommend as a way to see all the movie sights & just a general look around San Francisco! Glad I booked 😊

Great morning ride
A perfect day helped the rating- beautiful weather, but we saw 100’s of playful dolphins, also saw sea lions. But not whales. Captain and crew were great, friendly knowledgeable and helpful. They had a Marine Naturalist on the boat who was great with audience. Overall One of the highlights of our week. Great value too

Wonderful for everyone
We had a wonderful time and I want others to know, if they have a hard time with steep hikes, they need to be prepared for that. Otherwise, the stories were wonderful. Our family included a party of eight including people who were 12, 16, 21, 26, and 53. All genders and ages enjoyed this.

Fun afternoon in Sonoma!
Our driver, Jerry, made the trip interesting with the history & local knowledge. He was very kind & a very fun afternoon. Peter Cellars winery had the best wines & a very quaint atmosphere. The best was delicious wine with his 3 adorable & sweet dogs that weee happy to greet us. We also visited Roche Winery with breath taking views of the vineyards, beautiful patio, & surrounding mountains. Highly recommended this trip & would do it again.

Had such a great...
Had such a great experience on this tour. Spent around 1.5 hours watching humpback whales feed as well as some sea lions. The crew were mega helpful and informative. Explaining the geography of the bay and the reasons the whales were present.
Apparently the sea can get a little choppy in October/when winter starts to set in which is what we experienced so take some travel sickness tablets before getting to the dock if you are prone to feeling motion sickness.

Great experience. There’s...
Great experience. There’s nothing to complain about that’s for sure. Crew was professional and boat wasn’t over crowded. We took our kids and it went great. We never felt they were in the way or interfering with anyone else’s chance to enjoy the trip.
