New York City
Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic CruiseLeah_P, Sep 2026
Lake with a view
Great experience… highly recommend due to all areas at the lake are either private property or have a fee to get in. Also limited parking at Emerald Cove so we were not able to do the hike. Boat tour got us right where we needed to be.

Seating was available, the tour was informative & the sights were beautiful!
The weather was perfect on that late September afternoon. The MS DIXIE II staff was great. We enjoyed this excursion on Lake Tahoe.

Skunk Train: Pudding Creek Express from Fort BraggsusanfR9981FA, Sep 2026
Skunk Train so much fun!
Decided to do this with adult kids and loved it! Track runs through redwood forest and at stop you can take nice hike. It's fun and lovely time for all on the bike railcard. Don't miss while in Mendocino area!

A Wonderful Learning Experience
We had a great time. We appreciated that the boat’s captain deftly maneuvered to give everyone a good view of the sea life. The naturalists were informative and engaging, making it fun to learn about all the sea life we saw. Thank you to the whole crew who were all friendly and helpful.

Guided Whale Watching Tour from Long BeachWendy_P, Sep 2026
We Saw Whales
A beautiful day in Long Beach. Calm seas, sunshine (don't forget your sunscreen!), light breezes, sparkling water. We rode on the open top level at the rear which was good because it blocked some of the traveling wind.

Best boat tour!
Great scenic tour with education combined with a smooth sail to all the harbor brings! San Diego is so beautiful. You get to see all the naval installations, the planes, new and old piers, the seals, and Coronado Island. Best idea for visitors and for the whole family. The captain and other staff were great and super friendly!

New York City
Monterey Whale Watching TourMeander194268, Sep 2026
Great Whale Watching experience
We saw dozens of whales, some close up. The narration was very helpful / educational (although it was nearly impossible to hear him from the very front of the boat (lower level). The photographer on board gave us copies of their photos, at no charge. All in all a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend the Monterey Whale Watching Tour by Princess Monterey Whale Watching!! 💖Not: I don't think I would pay the extra $20 next time for the upper deck view. From the upper deck, one can only see out the sides and the rear of the boat, not out front. That direction can only be viewed from the lower deck.

Take a warm jacket and take dramamin 2 hours before ride.
Binoculars would also be a good thing to bring

The overall experience...
The overall experience was spectacular. Starting from the ticket counter till the time we were inside the yacht; the entire staff spectacular and the service was really good, and the ride was totally worth it.

Best time! Worth the money
Had such a great experience I recommend buying the fish so you can press the button so all the fish come to your window! Loved this experience and so did our teenagers

Glen Blair Bar Late-night Watering HoleGuide28803669766, Sep 2026
So cool and romantic
This is super unique and one of the coolest experiences my husband and I have had. We went at night and the cool weather was perfect for the roaring fire pits and warm irish cream coffee. It was romantic and also cool to go with friends. We will definitely go again and experience the daytime version.

New York City

Wonderful adventure
Great staff. Friendly and knowledgeable on the area, history and wildlife. Lots of fun facts and even lunch suggestions. A wonderful morning
Taralyn_T, Sep 2026
Was our first boat tour...
Was our first boat tour and being out in the sea. Family enjoyed the ride. Saw a bunch of dolphins. No actual whale sighting but did see an occasional water spouting out into the air. Sat on the top deck, whether was sunny but the further we went out to sea, the breeze was much cooler. Staff was friendly and informative. Tickets were reasonable. Parking was free across the street from the building.
