Beautiful southern California locales. We saw a gray whale mother and calf, two fin whales and sea lions! The boat ride was lovely, and Cody was a nice, prompt driver.

We went to three beaches and had plenty of time to explore them on our own although our guide gave us excellent suggestions on what to see and do. We were lucky on our 2 hour whale watching portion of the trip. We saw 4 whales and stayed with them for a good period of time.

Rick was wonderful. He was timely and very pleasant to talk to as he showed us the beaches and surrounding area. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales but I did get to see some seals. My favorite beaches were Long Beach and Huntington Beach ????️. Long Beach reminds me of a mountain ????️ town but with a sea view. Very peaceful. Thank you for the experience. Would do again.

Don’t expect to get any real beach experience in. You will see the beach but putting your feet in the Pacific may not be a reality. Enjoy the view!
