Official Inside Alcatraz Cruise With Free Audio and Night Option

Elizabeth_A, Jul 2026

Alcatraz with family

I loved Alcatraz tour. The audio tour was so informational. The park personnel was very nice and helpful. One of the part person who,, a gentleman towards the end of the tour was very friendly asking me where we were from and was able to tell me things about my town for memory even a movie about the town and acted out of skid in the movie. I loved it. The gift shop had great memorabilia and Adams to purchase. I definitely would go again.

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

HeatherA_D, Jul 2026

Wonderful Tour for Sharing Tahoe with Seniors

We booked this tour to share with my 80 year old parents. We wanted them to enjoy being out on the lake. This was such a special cruise; and they loved it. We have hiked the Rubicon trail before down to Vikingsholm but the hike / walk down is too strenuous for my folks. There was plenty of deck space on the upper deck and lots of indoor seating if you needed to get out of the sun. We took a 2pm tour and it was the perfect time for us to share a cocktail. There is an audio tour that plays while you are touring the lake with lots of wonderful facts about the boat, Lake Tahoe, and the various state parks. I was surprised to learn something new even after 20+ years of enjoying Tahoe. The excursion down into Emerald Bay is stunning - and so beautiful to see all around Fannette Island. I highly recommend.

Wine Country Join-in Flight

Mashawn_K, Jul 2026

Experience of a lifetime

This was an experience of a lifetime. Nacho was an amazing pilot. He taught us so much about the different types of crops in Napa Valley and he taught us about the ballon itself. He was so patient and knowledgeable about the Valley and a very experienced pilot. I would definitely recommend this ballon ride to anyone.

Clear Kayak Tour of Sand Harbor's Crystal Clear Waters

MaryAnn_S, Jul 2026

We had the absolute best...

We had the absolute best time on our clear kayak tour! Daniel was an amazing tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having an unforgettable adventure. Kayaking out to Bonsai Rock was incredible, and thanks to Daniel’s encouragement, several of us even took the leap off the rock! It was such a fun experience and definitely a highlight of our Lake Tahoe trip. The entire tour was well organized, beautiful, and so much fun from start to finish. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, do it! I would recommend Daniel and this company to anyone looking for a memorable experience on Lake Tahoe

Shout out to Justin & David for making our trip so wonderful and giving us great info about the lake! We would highly recommend taking this sailing trip with Sail Tahoe Blue!

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise Aboard Luxury Vessel

Matthew_B, Jul 2026

Great day on the ocean learning about wild sea life

We had a great time with Wild Pacific Whale watch. The vessel was clean, spacious and quite stable in the water. The crew were exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Melanie provided excellent information about the wildlife we encountered throughout the cruise. It was amazing how the captain was able to navigate right to the location where a large female humpback was spotted, affording several close-up views. We also encountered two pods of dolphins and a group of sea lions sunning themselves on a channel buoy. Overall, a beautiful day on the ocean and respectful interactions with amazing wildlife. Highly recommended!

Monterey Whale Watching Tour

Jess_C, Jun 2026

🐋 Can't wait to book again!

We had a great time and saw Blues, Humpbacks, Fins, Rizzo Dolphins, Otters, Seals, Sunfish, lots of sea birds. Definitely bring a jacket! We sat towards the front of the boat and would highly recommend it to be able to experience wildlife on both sides of the boat. The Naturalist was very knowledgeable, energetic, and did a great job filling the time with facts as we waiting for the whales to surface from their dives. I can't wait to book again!

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour (Single Kayak)

Arturo_F, Jun 2026

The Hedwigs Go Kayaking.

My experience was very lovely. I got extremely tired towards the end, but it was very worth it. They were very informative about everything that they were showing us while out on the water. They were very patient with all the participants and they adjusted based on skill level. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I will be recommending this to all of my friends and family that could do this. And I will probably be doing this again in the Future.

Whale Watching Tour From Monterey

Anna_S, Jun 2026

Amazing!!! Everyone needs to join this tour!!!!

This was an amazing whale tour! We saw sperm whales and blue whale, which was an interesting occurrence since our guide had not seen sperm whales during his 10 year tenure. We came during early-mid June and it seems like that’s the best time to go! We saw a lot of humpbacks, dolphins, sea lions, and other species of whale. It was a beautiful trip and once in a lifetime. For four hours and with a great crew, this was fantastic. My family and I were so excited and happy!!

Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline

Emily_W, Jun 2026

Great 1st time Experience

It was such a fun activity to do with my boyfriend. I was a little nervous at first because I didnt know what to expect, but the crew team were great! They work so hard and fast to get things moving along with just the two of them. They made the whole experience feel safe and just fun. The views up there were so amazing!

Whale-Watching Cruise from Newport Beach

Sanaa_M, Jun 2026

wonderful experience. We...

wonderful experience. We got lucky and got to see a humpback whale do a somersault. PLENTY of dolphin encounters and some sealions. The crew is great at explaining what we're seeing and where to look etc.. smooth ride, good space indoors if you're feeling cold and don't want to get splashed.
