OSide Whales is unlike any whale watch I’ve been on. The small boat can cover distance much quicker than the larger charters, making a fun ride and able to get farther to see what is out there w 360 degree views the whole way!!  I went out for Mother’s Day and saw a blue whale!!  Lots of mega-pods of common dolphins, sea lions, and water birds. I highly recommend for a unique and amazing time on the water. Thank you Dani!!

For something that was a sort of spur of the moment activity for our vacation, it turned out to be an unforgettable life experience! It was fantastic!
Dani was absolutely amazing and so well informed. He gave us information for every animal we came across and the small number of passengers made it more private which was wonderful. Highlights of the whole trip were definitely sailing along with the dolphins and seeing the humpback whale dive into the water with that signature tail flick!!!
I have been recommended it to all my friends and would love to do it again next time I’m in the area!

This trip was amazing, would highly recommend! Dani is an awesome Captain and we were able to see some incredible wildlife in the ocean. It was very educational as well and we learned a lot about the ecosystem and local conservation efforts. I’ll definitely be going back for another tour!

I went out on the water three days in a row with Dani. He is a most welcoming host. He knows the waters in this area well. We had some wonderful experiences with amazingly large pods of common dolphin and, on the middle day we saw a fin whale multiple times. He was a joy to share time with on the water, and I look forward to the next time I travel from Georgia to California to go out with him again. Dani - “Double Thumbs Up” !!

This was such a fun experience! We got to follow a fin whale for about an hour and Captain Dani was super knowledgeable about them. He explained the whales patterns as well as the different types of seals that we got to see. Being on a smaller boat allowed us to get fairly close without disturbing the whales. The boat was very comfortable as well.

Went out with Captain Dani in April of 2026. Dani was very friendly, knowledgeable and took us out to have a good time. Highly recommend the trip. He also keeps his boat very clean.

BOOK THE EXPERIENCE! I can’t wait to go again. We had an amazing time with Dani on the Papaya. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about the sea and his excitement for sharing information about the animals was such a fun extra that I didn’t expect. If you want an intimate ocean experience with good company, O-Side Whales is the place.

We saw multiple species of marine mammals- including hundreds of Dolphins, the boat was comfortable & clean, and Dani was professional, welcoming, and so kind. 10/10
