    Sanctuary Cruises image
    We took my 82 year old mom and another couple with us. We saw humpback whales lunge feeding and many Risso dolphins including Casper, a rare albino dolphin. The guide, Chase (like the bank) was awesome at telling us where to point our cameras to catch the humpback whale breaching the surface of the water. Chase had impressive knowledge about marine life & his enthusiasm was contagious. Thanks to his direction, I got some awesome Follow the directions on the website - light breakfast, Dramamine the night before & morning of as well as renting the bracelets to prevent seasickness. All 5 of us felt great. It is cold so dress appropriately- wear a hat that covers your ears, bring gloves & a good jacket. We saw a few of the huge boats like Goddess of the Sea & was so thankful we chose a smaller, more intimate experience. My mom cannot swim but she never felt unsafe. It will not be the last time we go whale watching with sanctuary cruises! See more..

    Our guide, Jim, went above and beyond given the weather was not cooperating to move us around the rain. So many amazing locations I would not have found on my own. He also shared a lot of great tips and techniques at each stop. Mother nature did however bless us with views of a rainbow from our very first stop right up to our return. Amazing tour and guide. Only wish I would have taken the full day trip. Thank you Jim! See more..

    California Dream Tours image
    This tour is a must do if you're visiting LA! My partner and I just got back from 5 days in Los Angeles, and the tour was a definite highlight for us. We opted for a half day tour and it was honestly fantastic, the day went so quickly and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we wished we had done a full day instead. You really get to see so many great places that you might not make it to otherwise, depending on where you're staying. The best part about the whole experience though was our guide Joss! He made us feel so welcome and comfortable that we were able to just relax and enjoy the day. He also gave us some great suggestions of where to go and places to eat for the remainder of our trip which was great because we love our food. We've done many different types of day-tours before and Joss is hands-down the best guide we've had the pleasure of meeting. We would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting LA and happily go on another tour with Joss! See more..
  4. 5.0 Yosemite Guide Service (144 reviews)
    - A Mesmerizing Adventure
    Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Sightseeing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Yosemite Guide Service image
    We recently completed our second backcountry backpack trip with Yosemite Guide Service. Last year it was just the two of us but this year it was us two and four friends. Every step, every view, every climb, every descent, and every swim in a frigid alpine lake was totally worth it. John is a professional guide in every way, enhancing our hikes with knowledge of the majestic Sierra plants, flowers, ecology, geology, and more. We did a four-night, five-day adventure starting near Mammoth Lakes, then out to Thousand Island Lake, Garnet Lake, and Shadow Lake. John's customized service, hospitality, sense of humor, and great personality made the trip all that much more enjoyable. We will likely book a third trip with him next season ( if he'll have us, of course!) Anyway, don't hesitate to book any kind of adventure with him. See more..

    - Best Experience of our Tahoe Vacation!

    Sail Tahoe Blue Sailing Charters image
    **The best day of our trip to Tahoe!!!** Capt Sean was an awesome host on his sailboat! We had perfect weather - slight wind which was great for sailing, and sunny, clear skies! Found Sail Tahoe Blue on Yelp when looking for sailing or boating options on the lake. Sooooo glad we booked! Deck hand Jack made sure everyone's (complimentary) drinks were full and that we were always doing ok, and comfortable on the boat. Both Sean & Jack made sure everyone had a great time - took the time to talk to us all, hear our stories, tell us theirs. Super friendly, super comfortable - amazing excursion for the day! We did an afternoon cruise (2pm-4pm) had 11 people on the boat, which was easy for us all to have our own space. Definitely would do this again! See more..

    Photo Safari Yosemite image
    June 12 2021 We booked a private tour for two with Pat (and his assistant Ethan) which was a fantastic decision and worth every cent!!!! Pat was informative, witty, personable, and personal and we knew right away it was going to be a monumental tour because of the advanced knowledge Pat offers!!! Following in our own vehicle while still being able to communicate over walkie talkies gave us the ability to ask questions while still having ‘our time’. Since the park is reservation system only right now, it wasn’t crazy busy and it was easy to get in and out of all the siteseeing stops. With having a guide who knew exactly where to go and just as important ‘when’ to go to get the best pictures was amazing!!!! We ended up with so many incredible professional photos right on our phones at the end of the day! Thank you sooooo much Pat and Ethan for making our trip spectacular Anton and Jean See more..

    This was a delightful tour that allowed us to not only taste great food, but also learn about the city of Ventura. Manuel was a knowledgeable, charming host who knows the area well. Great way to spend part of a day, and we didn’t need to eat dinner that night because we were so full! See more..

    Monterey Bay Eco Tours image
    This was my Mother’s Day gift to myself & my mom. I’ve kayaked this slough, about 10 years ago & decided that I didn’t want to have hook my mom up to my kayak to get her back out when the wind picked up. It was so great to go so far down into the slough. Bring your binoculars ask Wyatt the naturalist every question you can think off (my 8 year old did) and have a great time. You will see the wildlife you are hoping to see at a distance that isn’t distressing to them. Will book again, definitely. See more..

    - A MUST!
    Walking Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Private Tours • Day Trips
    Sequoia Guides image
    We booked two days with Krista, one in Sequoia NP and one in King's Canyon NP...absolutely fabulous! She is fun, personable, understands customer service, communicated before and after our hikes to make sure we would be/were pleased, and most of all, she aimed to please! We had 2 teen boys, a pregnant mom, and a 78 year old grandaddy with us, and she met ALL of their needs. She would pull things out of her backpack to show us history, to make connections, to teach, and to inspire. Look no further for a private guide into these parks-she is incredible and we felt like we had made friends when we were done. I have been hiring hiking guides for years...in National parks, hands down, she was the best! See more..

    - Exceptional day with whales
    Friday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Multi-day Tours • Taxis & Shuttles • Boat Tours • Boat Rentals • Private Tours • Day Trips
    Oceanic Expeditions image
    What an exceptional experience! I did the full day 7 hour tour and it delivered: we saw many humpback whales, over a hundred Risso’s dolphins (including Casper, the albino one!) and so many sea lions. As someone who works in marine conservation, good boat practices are really important to me to not disturb the animals. Mary and Mike follow very high standards. With the full tour, it was great how we could stay at a location for awhile - the whales became comfortable w us and at times came right up to the boat without us approaching them! Mary and Mike were able to identify many of the individual whales and tell us their names and unique behaviors. The boat is small but roomy and there is a bathroom, fresh water, and sunscreen onboard. 10/10 best Monterey whale watching experience I’ve had. See more..

    Epic Aer L.L.C. image
    What a great time! We’re locals and really enjoyed the experience. Fog is always a factor in some part of the Bay Area in almost any season. We made a last minute adjustment to the tour; super pleased. The pilot was knowledgeable and friendly. We felt very safe (covid and otherwise) the whole time. I highly recommend this group. It really is a special experience to feel like you have the Bay all to yourself during the flight. See more..

  14. 5.0 Iron Gate Ranch (5 reviews)
    - Comfort and solitude!
    Friday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Multi-day Tours • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Horseback Riding Tours • Day Trips
    Iron Gate Ranch image
    Our stay at the ranch was a much needed reprieve from the chaos of our day to day life. We enjoyed the solitude, proximity to Irongate Lake, a hidden nearby waterfall, and the extremely comfy King-sized bed! However our favorite part of our stay, was the wild horses that roamed free on the property, and hearing them on the close by trail at night. Clair and Taryn were very hospitable, making sure we had what we needed, but gave us lots of privacy. We are definitely planning on coming back soon! See more..

    Do this! We went at the perfect time. It was the first drive of the year. The horses were great, the scenery was lush and there were lots of "regulars" that made us feel welcome.

    Jennifer made it so much fun with our four grandkids. Ages 6, 10, 10, and 12. They got to form a bowl out of a chunk of clay and then paint them. She is so kind and helpful. Don’t worry if you are from out of town as she will mail your finished pieces to you once they are fired. The location is east of Twain Hart off of Hwy 108. The red building and she is on the side with the big garage doors. Easy to find. Don’t miss this treasure. Enjoy!!! See more..

    April Bielefeldt image
    Our trip to Alaska with April far exceeded my expectations. April's research, planning and organization made for a most delightful experience. In addition to the known places and tours, the trip included many hidden gems which one would have to see to realize how fascinating they were. A Russian Orthodox cemetery with little houses built over the graves was only one example. April scheduled many activities but also scheduled enough rest time so we weren't too tired to enjoy them. She was a master at anticipating our various needs and accommodating them effortlessly. When weather or other circumstances necessitated a change in the schedule, she had pleasant alternatives arranged instantly. Her positive attitude and sense of humor enabled our group to laugh a lot and collect wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I am already anticipating my next trip with her. (And did I mention that she is an excellent driver?) See more..

Stearns Wharf, the pier and views of the “Riviera” from SB City College put the cherry on the top of this grand touring day. Thank you Jerry! See more..
