Dolphins!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Captain Nick was amazing this was the best part of my trip with my family. Thank you so much for this experience!! No whales, but we saw sooo many dolphins and sea lions!!

Fun with dolphins

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a wonderful time! Captain Nick is both welcoming and knowledgeable and the speed of the small boat alone made the trip fun. We enjoyed a large pod of dolphins dance under and around our boat. And one even did belly-up jumps through our wake! As it turned out we didnā€™t actually see any whales, but had a great time all the same.

Fun afternoon! Kids loved the dolphins!

Published on Sep, 2024

Enjoyed a few hours out with 2 teens. The girls had a blast! No whales that day, but hundreds of dolphins, including many babies and many other crittersā€¦seals, sea lions, etc! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We would absolutely do it again!

Incredible experience

Published on Aug, 2024

We had an incredible, magical experience that our family will never forget. We have 3 young children, including a 3 year old and Nick was fantastic at engaging and accommodating them all.

Trip of a lifetime!

Published on Aug, 2024

We went on a Dolphin/Whale watching excursion with Nick from East Meets West yesterday morning. It was honestly the trip of a lifetime! Nick was our captain and is extremely knowledgeable about marine life. We learned all kinds of facts about dolphins & whales! Nick went out of his way to see a huge pod of dolphins we spotted! Being on a smaller boat we were able to go faster and farther than the larger sight seeing boats. The boat was clean and seats were extremely comfortable. Nick also made sure my daughter-in-law was doing okay as she was extremely nervous. We unfortunately did not see any whales, but saw more dolphins than Iā€™ve ever seen before! And Nick even stopped and let us see a group of sea lions hanging out! I would hands down recommend East Meets West to anyone seeking adventure & to get up close & personal views of the marine animals! Thank you, Nick for an amazing experience! We will be back!
