The staff was amazing, very knowledgeable and kind. Amy had pocketfuls of ginger candies which she handed out to those of us feeling seasick and was supportive of some young sailors feeling nervous about the waves. We got to spend some additional time out in the water once we located a humpback whale. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

We had a good time, saw a thresher shark breach once we got out past where the bay and the ocean meet (cool line) and didn't see much else until the very end, about 5 minutes before returning we saw a few spouts and fins from two humpback whales who kept diving on us Captains were funny and they played good music. We sat in the front the entire time, definitely bring sun screen and layers. read more

I was honored to be included in a memorial to scatter the ashes of an extended family member at sea in Morro Bay. Sub Sea Tours provided the Catamaran for the ceremony, including the services of a pilot and captain. The staff provided exceptionally kind and sensitive direction to the bereaved. They let all of us know what to expect, how to handle any seasickness that may arise (which unfortunately did for a few of us but not me, thanks to ginger chews) and advised us that they would position the boat according to wind direction for the scattering. They were clearly prepared for this type of ceremony and very tactful in their interactions with the family. They also quietly pointed out wildlife as we made our way out to the open sea. Overall, the ceremony went off without a hitch and was a beautiful send-off for a beautiful person. Highly recommended if your loved one may have requested this type of celebration of life. read more

We saw more whales than we expected! And also a bunch of sea-lions! They maybe could lessen the people they book on each tour since the boat had little seating. Altogether great experience! My kids loved it! read more

So, we actually didn't make it to our tour. We messed up and forgot the time! THEY CALLED US TO CHECK ON US !!! How amazing is that? Great customer service! Our next visit to town we will for sure go on a tour! With that type of service...it will be well worth it! read more

A must-do when visiting this area! I've been out with them multiple times, and the crew is always wonderful--friendly, knowledgeable, and very informative. The gray whales were incredible, and seeing dolphins was an extra bonus. An unforgettable experience every time! read more

Had a great time whale watching. The staff is very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Spotted more than 30 humpback whales and legions of sea lions in a feeding frenzy. So awe-inspiring to experience the abundance of life on this planet! Enriched by the humor of Captain Dax and fascinating factoids from Amy. Not to be missed! read more

Thankyou so much SST peeps, our group of 4, with an elder (93) had The most fantastic experience here on a morning tour! Everyone was super excited to see several whales and learn about their tracking & pods of dolphins feeding like crazy! We felt very comfortable and it was a gorgeous day on the bay! Special shout out to the Captain and his lovely tour guide who offered so much valuable info and assistance when needed, one of our young travelers got little sea sick but you had everything we needed to remedy this! Just a fantastic day especially for our elder friend with limited stamina! I can't emphasize enough how much the sunscreen was a blessing, we all got a little suntan, just right! We will gather again in the near future and highly recommend this easy to get to location! read more

This was a great trip! The captain should have his own show in Vegas, very funny comentary on the way out of the harbor. He actually kept us out a little longer making sure we got another look at a blue whale in the area. He even offered to take funny camera pics with a toy whale. read more

Well, we walked right up and within a amount of minutes, we got a two seater kayak and effortlessly were in the water and probably no more than 10 minutes from filling out the forms. And lo and behold we went out to see otters and by the grace of God there was one right there where we Embarked next to the dock. It could've been better. We could've canceled the reservation and seeing what we needed to see. Lol just kidding. We paddle Lead out and in no time saw what we came for. It was effortless and the nice lady that helped us helped me get my big butt down into the kayak without falling in the water lol. I would recommend them highly. On top of that I accidentally left my jacket there and the owner, Adam was kind enough to mail it to me. You don't see that kind of service nowadays. Thank you so much. I recommend this company highly read more

We went whale watching yesterday and it was amazing. Our guides were knowledgeable, funny and helpful. We ended up seeing about 20 whales and other Marine life, and it was magical. 10 out of 10 would recommend! read more

Best whale watching trip ever! I usually go about 5 times a year. This trip was incredible! So many humpback whales, I didn't know where to look! we were surrounded by whales and feeding frenzies. I have yet to see a BREACH! I will be back! Thank you Sub Sea Tours Cynthia Maldonado read more

This was a really excellent tour and such an incredible experience. The captain and tour guide were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip really fun. The boat is smaller (which really made the experience so much better since you're closer to the ocean/sealife), so if you get sea sickness- make sure to wear your seabands or take medication first. We saw HUNDREDS of dolphins, quite a few whales, sea otters, sea lions, and truly had a blast. It was the best whale watch tour we've ever done. read more

Amazing tour! Amy and Dax are full of knowledge about the area and wild life. There was a point where we all thought we wouldn't find whales today but they kept going and boy was it worth it. The whales and sea lions put on a great show and Amy and Dax taught us a lot during the experience. 10/10 would recommend, cannot wait to come back and try another tour. read more

Great people & the boat itself was clean & felt secure! Didn't see whales but we got to see dolphins & sea otters, which was just as good.

10/10 experience, workers were great & made sure we followed and got to watch the whales. They adjusted the boat to where we could see them best. My 2 & 4 year olds had so much fun, my girls aren't iPad girls so they paid attention & we're fascinated by the whales. Overall recommend & coming back for sure. read more

We started our weekend with whale watching while celebrating my grandmother's 80th birthday. I have been on many whale watching excursions but have never had such an incredible experience. We looked to our left, we looked to our right, and there were whales everywhere! We had up to 10 whales hanging around us for up to an hour. The staff was also incredible when folks got sick. They reminded everyone prior to departure if they needed meds. If people got sick while on the water, they were very supportive. We also had a very funny photo taken by staff (no spoilers). read more

Whale watcjing with Sub Sea Tours was a great experience for my husband and myself. The staff was so kind and informative. I was freezing and the sweet gal that worked there let me borrow a jacket which made the day much more enjoyable. She so made several rounds offering lemon ginger chews and wintergreen for those folks that were feeling a little sea sick. Our captain shared bits of information along the way and really worked hard to find some whales. He so played great music. We only saw one whale but we did get to enjoy her for quite some time. The water was pretty choppy but that was nobodys fault. We had a great day and would recommend to others. read more

Amazing! We saw a feeding frenzy! The crew boated around until they saw it and took us there iickety split! Magical!

Fantastic day!!!!!!! Super fun friendly staff! Best part.....Humpbacks EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

We had a slight wait, since we went on a rainy day, it backed up everyone's schedule. While we visited, a young whale was hanging out in the bay, so not only did we get the "usual" tour, but we also got to see the little guy! (I consider that a huge $40 per person savings!) Great costs, funny guide, my only suggestion would be to mic up the driver, as I couldn't hear him if anyone near me was talking. read more

I had such a great time on the whale watching trip. The captains were really friendly and excited about seeing marine life. They worked really hard to make sure we saw some pretty fantastic creatures. The boat is clean the team is professional and there are bathrooms on the boat. They have some field guides so you can learn about the animals you are seeing. It's a great time. We did stay an hour longer in the water but I enjoyed it. Listen, I get that you've been on a boat and didn't get sick before, just take the free medication they give you. I took the medicine and I was good. read more

we had a great experience with Sub Sea Tours. our captain found whales just 30 minutes out of Morro Bay. First it was 1 whale then we started seeing sea lions in feeding mode then in came to whales to join in. It was wonderful to see the feeding behaviors. The naturalist on board was very helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend this whale watching tour. read more

I took my 2 year old and 5 year old on the Sub Sea boat and they both loved it. Super easy introduction to the bay with lots to keep them engaged. Two days later, I took my 5 year old on a whale watching tour through the same company and it was phenomenal! DJ and Amy went above and beyond to make everyone comfortable and help people see the whales. I have been on more than a dozen whale watching boats and these humpbacks put on the best show I have ever seen: chin slapping, breaching, tail lobbing, spy hopping, lunge feeding, etc. There were loads of whales and everyone got great looks! I would highly recommend this company for those of you that have young kids. read more

My brother took me out for my dream birthday to go whale watching, and there were so many whales out right when we got out of the harbor but the boat captain passed all of them and was determined to find orcas the entire trip. He said the whales are always there but we need to find orcas. Although orcas were nice to see, spending the entire boat following them and never attempting to see the other whales was so sad. Then the entire ride back there were no more whales and he just took us back to the harbor. I feel like the captain was jaded because he sees whales everyday all day but forgot that's what we were coming to do once in a lifetime and could have made our day. read more

The captain, DJ, was very personable. It was fun to see how excited he and the hostess, Amy, were when we saw the animals. We saw dolphins in the distance and he took us out there because he "couldn't resist a pod of dolphins". He also took a quick detour to find a minke whale. It was so much fun. We saw humpback spouts, tails, dorsals, fins! A TON of shiny, glittery anchovy, dolphins, sea lions, mama and baby otters. I couldn't have asked for a better tour. I recommend. read more

What an amazing day! Took my granddaughter whale watching and what a show we got. We saw multiple Humpback Whales. Some where so close to the boat it felt like we could touch them! I have never had this experience in other tours I've taken. The captain and assistant were awesome and shared great information regarding the animals we saw. I definitely recommend Sub Sea Tours! read more

We had a great trip. Good commentary. Helpful, informed crew. AND we saw a lot of whale activity very close up.

We had an amazing tour with our extended multigenerational family ranging in age from 20 to 80. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. We were fortunate to see probably 10 blue whales (largest creatures to ever live on earth!) as well as fin whales. Our guide had a really great camera and a drone (which at first was annoying), but then he shared the incredible footage after the tour. The only downside was a group with several young children who were having fun at first and then ALL got seasick. Felt really bad for them. Most adults seemed to do ok even if a little wobbly. read more

I took both the Window boat tour and the Whale Watching tour. Both were great. Especially the Whale Watching! We were surrounded by Humpbacks, the sun was out, the water was pretty calm. Truthfully, it was a dream come true for me. The guides on both tours were knowledgeable and friendly. If there were 10 stars on your chart I would have marked all 10! Thank you for a most memorable day!!!!! read more
