Katie_R, Apr 2026

Amazing experience!

It was amazing! The crew was phenomenal, we saw 2 fin whales, tons of dolphins, seal lions as well as lots of water foul. The boat was very comfortable. My boys (6 and 3) loved it and have been asking to go again since we got off the boat. Highly suggest it!

Super cool experience....

Super cool experience. The wait time can be long if you go when it’s busy, in the middle of the day. There’s a cafe, gift store, and seating area to wait at the bottom. You can walk around and explore a little to kill the time. The tram and views were awesome. The outlook at the top had beautiful views

Paul our driver was great! He took us to 4 different wineries. Each was different in its own way. We had lunch at the second winery and all ate lunch together while our host explained the proper way to drink/smell/taste a glass of wine. It was so much fun! We had a great trolly ride and would definitely do it again!

Great experience! Best birthday gift! Seeing the beautiful sunrise and views. Our pilot was Mateo and he was awesome! The ride was not scary at all in fact it was smooth and safe.

Awesome

One of the best tours I have ever done. The guide (I think Brendan) was hilarious. The best thing about it is also what I'd warn people of: you will see A LOT. There are several stops, including some more than an hour. By the time you will A. feel like you get SanFran, and B. be exhausted. But that's how I like to travel, so you do you!

Cricea_L, Mar 2026

What an unforgettable birthday celebration for my mom! 🍷🎉

A huge thank you to Poppin Wine Tours for the incredible Temecula Wine Tour – 3 Wineries Guided Experience. Giving our designated driver the day off and hopping on the party bus was the best decision. From the moment we boarded, Calvin had the music going and the energy high, making the ride through Temecula Wine Country just as fun as the wineries themselves. Our stops were absolutely beautiful: 🍇 Falkner Winery – one of the most scenic views in Temecula Valley and the perfect start to the day. 🍷 Maurice Car’rie Winery & Vineyards – a charming stop with great tastings and a wonderful atmosphere. 🍾 Somerset Vineyard and Winery – an amazing finale with multiple tastings and a behind-the-scenes wine tour experience. A special shoutout to Calvin, who was the absolute best host we could have asked for. He kept the party bus fun, the music going, and made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Professional, energetic, and truly first-class service from start to finish. And to the talented singer who made my mom feel extra special by singing Happy Birthday — thank you for adding such a memorable and heartfelt moment to her celebration. 🎤🎂 Great wine, great music, amazing hosts, and unforgettable memories. Cheers to an elevated experience in Temecula Wine Country! 🍇🥂 #TemeculaWineTour #PoppinWineTours #WineCountryExperience #BirthdayCelebration #Grateful

KATHLEEN_S, Mar 2026

Lots of waves!

Bring towels and dry clothes to store in lockers. You will get wet! Brody and Luka were great today! It was a rough day but they were informative and so helpful. I was impressed that Brody got out of his kayak with fins so that he could help those who wanted to enter the cave could as it was very rough. Also they were amazingly helpful getting us all into shore though I think all of us capsized! Still a fun experience!

Yellow Semi-Submarine Tour of Catalina Island From Avalon

Jeanne_B, Dec 2025

The best way to see the local Catalina sea life without a wetsuit!

Marcus and Dave were great! I highly recommend buying the 8-pack of fish food - the fish KNOW it's there and you'll see SO MANY more fish if you participate! Marcus gave us a lot of interesting information about the local sea life and was very friendly - he offered to take photos of us in the sub, which was really nice, and we now have pics of us with a window full of fish behind us - so cool! This is a must-do when visiting Catalina, whether you're on a date, with kids, or with a group of friends/coworkers.
