We had a great time! The crew were wonderful! Very friendly and accommodating. We didn't see whales but we saw dolphins, seals and sea lions! Davey's locker is the best! Highly recommend

The boat was comfortable, and the crew very friendly. We saw an enormous pod of dolphins and got some great pictures/videos.

We went out at 9 am. We were able to see 4 gray whales headed north which I guess is uncommon for January. The captain and crew were very knowledgeable, we had a man name Tom who would walk around and answer questions and told us a lot of cool facts about the marine life. Great experience.

The staff and crew were friendly and helpful. It was a foggy day, but we were blessed to see a large pod of friendly dolphins. It was an easy process to purchase our tickets, park, and find Davey’s Locker without knowing the area.

The pluses - we were on a comfortably large boat with plenty of seating indoors and out they offered snacks and coffee for sale and we saw a large pod of dolphins. The downside the sign outside the port entrance where you pick up your ticket shows they have not seen a whale in at least a couple weeks - once dolphins were found the captain did not even go looking for whales we just stayed put and looked at Dolphins. Okay but not what we were there for. Wildlife can’t be guaranteed but in the end I don’t think they were really looking for whales once they found Dolphins.

Went on Christmas Day - very beautiful tour but get there early there we’re not enough seats for everyone. Also wear warm clothes - it’s open air

Went with my adult kids. Didn’t see any whales but had a nice boat ride. When we arrived back at the dock they gave us a voucher to come again for free. Took my husband and it was an enjoyable ride and we did see lots of dolphins.

Horrible customer service - even before I went to the event. Because we have bad sea sick, we wanted to cancel not knowing that the holiday event is absolutely non refundable. The customer service (Cecilia - last name was not given because it is her privacy) hung up on me while I was struggling if I still want to cancel or not, and emailed cancellation confirmation. It is non refundable ticket and she didn't even confirm my final decision and cancel the reservation. I don't know if I can enjoy the event now. WONDERFUL WAY TO SPOIL THE HOLIDAY.

The view was amazing. But it needs more variety of Christmas music to make it more enjoyable. I did not like the sound of the music and the music itself.

Davey's Locker and the fishing vessel are independent from each other and found out a couple days after the Manager Dave refused to give us a refund on unopened/unused tackle pack, torpedos and hooks. We check in with Davey's Locker and were sold incorrect equipment by Johnny at a cost of $57.63. The problem is onboard they were charging us $8 for the correct equipment when we were told at Davey's the vessel would have replacements at no cost if we were to lose ours. No fault to the vessel but the communication between both companies should be clear as day as where they are taking customers and what equipment is needed. About 30-35 people on board of a tour of 52 on 11/09 were given incorrect equipment so Davey's Locker profited over $1,500+ on equipment that was falsely sold to us. Now, that's criminal. The crew on board were very friendly and helped throughout the trip so this review is based on Davey's Locker and their staff.

We actually went on a bioluminescent tour last Saturday night, which I cannot recommend at all. They marketed like it would be on the zodiac (photos of zodiac) and it was on their huge slow boat. The tour was only 90 minutes and the bioluminescence was 6 miles off shore. By the time we got there we had to turn around. The galley staff was inconsiderate with leaving bright lights and flash lights on. Super boring and annoying! The boat was packed - nearly 100 people per trip and they had 4 trips - so they made bank for a few hours work! But such a scam. As a local, I cannot recommend this company as they should know better that the results would be less than desirable in such a short time on such a slow boat, but they took everyone's money anyway. I called to express my concerns and was begrudgingly offered a 50% refund which I have yet to receive. Try the zodiacs with Newport Coast Adventures! They are so much more fun!! Worth the extra $$$

TERRIBLE. INCONSIDERATE. MONEY HUNGRY. Not very DEMURE.I’ve worked in the service industry across many platforms. This business does not conduct good business or are even reasonable. I love my Newport community and local business owners. They would want locals and tourist to always come back! Do NOT buy a ticket from them because if you have a medical emergency or your visiting out of state and can’t make it even with canceling within a reasonable time THEY Will not refund you . Imagine your middle class and want to take your kids on a trip for a memorable experience and you worked hard to buy tickets, but all the sudden your kid has a medical emergency so you have to cancel the trip that would make them happy …so then call and they take ALL YOUR money and say no to any sort of refund. they don’t offer any empathy. I call that stealing and inconsiderate. NEVER will go to a place that behaves this way . So rude. WE have the funds to afford this , but I’m defending those who may be a victim of what I went through. Not a business to stand behind that just takes your money. No aloha. No respect for locals or tourist.

Nice day for whale watching. Seen some whales and dolphins. Smooth boat ride. Seats on boat were hard as a rock. Recommend you bring a cushion to sit on

We did not see the whales, but saw many dolphins. The boat was new and clean. It was a nice family outing. Parking can be an issue, but we got there more than hour before the trip, and were able to park on the street.

The boat ride was nice. We didn’t see any whales, but that wasn’t a big deal to me. We did get to see a pod of dolphins and I also saw a shark fin. The customer service was pretty poor, which is why I’m giving 3 stars. All the staff seemed to not want to be there and were very dull and unfriendly. None of the staff was mean, but they seemed annoyed and like it was bothersome to them if anyone had any questions or needed to speak with them. Maybe it was just a bad day, but it made the overall vibe of the cruise a little unwelcoming and uncomfortable.
