SF Bay Whale Watching

Boy things have changed here. Kinda like a swap meet now.....with seafood

Love watching all the sea lions!! ^_^ theyre so cute and full of personality! And its so much better to see them lounging on these docks than in an aquarium :.)

Wide three tier benches exist here so that a clear view of the sea lions can be garnered. There are floating platforms where the sea lions can be viewed, heared and smelled. Can get very crowded.

The owner Kevin and his staff are so friendly. Restaurant is spotless clean. Big screens to watch football or any other sport,and board games too! Food is delicious! Try the Wagyu Burger!!! So good!

I read the reviews and saw the common theme was an over crowded boat. I find that surprising as our boat, the "Kitty Kat" was sold out. Yes we had to walk on a dock...to get to the boat...that was in the water...to watch sea life... not sure why that was previously complained about however, my family and I had no issues. Even though the boat may have been a little crowded everyone was very pleasant and would allow folks room to see.

My one gripe was when we bought our tickets through Viatar the directions said meet at the pier at the gate. We went there and, thankfully, decided to walk around because we saw no one else ready to take the excursion. We actually had to trade our voucher for tickets at the booth which was a little ways away from the entrance gate.

As other reviews pointed out, there is alot of sea life to be seen and there's alot of sea life not to be seen. Unfortunately, the Kitty Kat has no control over what surfaces and what doesn't. We were fortunate enough to see a humpback cruising around. We were more fortunate that the staff having superior knowledge of sea life and were great guides for our trip.
