5Great Trip!!

4Nice
A good time. Nice boat and good weather.
1Refund
I was recommended a trip on the phone By a booking agent. I told her I was in San Diego and she booked me an excursion in Oceanside. It was over an hour away and there was no way for us to get that far in time. Your company refused to refund me even though it was their mistake
5Will go again.
We saw Minke Whales -- pretty awesome. All parts of the trip were easy. Crewmembers were nice and told us about the days when they see the humpbacks and blue whales. We will go back to see those soon!
5Wonderful Adventure, simply priceless!
Wonderful adventure. The staff was amazing. We saw quite a lot of dolphins during this trip. I highly recommend Oceanside Adventures!

We had absolutely the best time. We saw a lot of Dolphins. Just being on the water was so relaxing and fun. The staff is great. Make sure you bring a jacket!

About Carlsbad
Carlsbad is a seaside city in northern San Diego County, California, with a walkable village, wide beaches, lagoons and hillside fields of spring flowers.
Carlsbad lies on the Pacific coast of California between Oceanside and Encinitas, in northern San Diego County. The city took its name from the Bohemian spa town of Karlsbad after a local well was found to have similar mineral water, and a small Village centre still stands by the railway and the sea. Carlsbad State Beach runs along the bluffs, and the Coast Highway is lined with shops and cafés.
