Brooke was the tour guide for this experience. She was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable of the areas that we went. We went to Laguna, Newport, and Huntington Beaches. They were amazing. The whale watching tour was nice. The water was very choppy but the breeze, sights, and weather were too amazing to care. No whales on this day, but plenty of CA sea lions and lots of dolphins. I would definitely recommend this tour for beach and nature lovers.

Tom our tour guide was such an amazing part of our tour! He did everything possible to make the trip as memorable as possible. The whale watching experience was so much fun. We located a Brutus whale that was rare according to our boat guide. The dolphins swim along side the boat in bunches alongside the bay. We were able to capture both the dolphins and the whale on video. The trip to Laguna beach and Huntington Beach was gorgeous. I didn’t even want to leave. The pick and drop off was great so no driving necessary. Thanks again Anaheim Tour we are definitely coming back for more!!!

Wanting a sunshine-filled break following a long conference in Anaheim, but not having a lot of time to have one led us to book a tour with Anaheim Tour Company. Having booked a month ahead of the trip, we were aware that if the tour did not book a certain number of people, it could be cancelled. A completely understandable policy. However, even when the tour failed to fill, Tom bent over backwards to honor the reservation. He arrived bright and early in front of our hotel in Anaheim and we were off for a day of beaches. At the Newport stop, Tom had coordinated with Nick at East Meets West Excursions (Nick is wonderful!) so that we were able to enjoy an afternoon filled with dolphins and a beautiful humpback whale. At the end of the day, we were dropped back off in front of our hotel happy and exhausted.

Grace,
Thank you. I don't mind "saddling up" and driving a tour when we don't reach our minimums when I'm available and so, I'm happy it worked out.
I'm also thrilled you liked Captain Nick of East Meets West. Going out and seeing all those dolphins up close on a little tiny boat is something that is just amazing!
I wish we had more guests do that tour because I think it's life changing.
We really appreciate you trusting us with your day!
Your driver, Tom

We didnt see any whales but still had a ball!
With Anaheim Tour Company you get small group personal service and if you're lucky enough to get Rick you'll have a fun lively guide who's lived all his life in Orange County and has the knowledge that goes with it.
We were picked up at 8.30 and after a photo opportunity at the Overlook on the 10am boat out into the ocean.
We didnt see any whales in our 2.5 hours at sea but plenty of dolphins and sea lions too - the trip did come with a warning that these aren't creatures in captivity and therefore are constantly on the move in the vast ocean.
Once back on land it was off to Huntington beach for an afternoon in beautiful surroundings - we followed Rick's advice and ate some excellent food at the authentic Ruby's 50's Diner at the end of the pier and passed some time marvelling at the Californian surfers on the sea.
Rick was at every pick up point exactly when he said he would be and we were back at our hotel as promised around 5.30.
A highly recommended tour with or without whales

Nice and relaxed tour that brings you to the 3 notable beaches of LA. Tour guide is friendly and engages everyone in conversation. The beaches were amazing, I particularly liked Laguna beach. They will give you sometime to stroll, shop or do whatever you want at the beach.
Went on the whale watching cruise, didn't see any whales unfortunately but saw many dolphins. Overall, a very enjoyable tour for the day.

Fantastic tour from Anaheim to see several beaches and sea life. We saw Sea lions, several pods of Dolphins and 3 Blue whales. Tom and Brook were prompt with pick up and their friendly narration made this tour really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this day trip. Well worth the price.

This was a great way to see some of the iconic beaches and get to see the Blue Whales. I would have liked a better explanation of the time to be spent at each place and what was was to offer at each one. Shopping areas, the fact that we were to be at one beach for 3 hours...

De chauffeur is geweldig. Groot compliment. Jammer, dat er geen walvissen, dolfijnen te zien waren. Dat maakte de reis van walvissen zien wel een tegenvaller. Hiervoor waren we helemaal uit Europa naar Los Angelos gekomen om walvissen te zien. En dan zie je geen walvis, dat is teleurstellend.

We're staying at the Embassy suites Orange. Do you pick up there? We'll be there September 22nd. Are we likely to see whales at that time of year?
How far is this from the Disney Resorts We are attending a conference and looking into the tour while we are there

The tour completed pick up at several of the Disneyland area hotels. It about a 30-40 minute ride to the first stop a Laguna Beach (depending on traffic).
*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
