I can’t recommend SLO Tours enough! We had the most unforgettable experience out on the water today with Captain Brink at the helm. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for marine life made the entire trip feel both safe and magical.

We headed out from Port San Luis and ended up having an absolutely insane encounter near the Pismo Pier — TEN humpback whales all around the boat, breaching, tail-slapping, and feeding right in front of us. It honestly felt like something out of a National Geographic documentary.

Captain Brink made sure everyone had the best view, explained what we were seeing in real time, and even helped us snap a few photos. The Obispeño catamaran was super comfortable and stable, and the small group size made it feel like a private tour.

If you’re anywhere near the Central Coast, do not miss this experience. It was hands-down one of the best things I’ve ever done in California.
