On 7/30 we did the Shoreline Boat Tour. We had a fabulous time on the Vangaurd!! Everyone from lady in the office to the entire crew on the boat were helpful, knowledgeable, patient and catered to my father who had mobility issues. The crew absolutely cares about what they do and made the experience unforgettable for seniors and families aboard. Captain stopped to see the dolphins, sea lions and thousands of birds. We really appreciate Island Packers and their Team 🥰🛥️🐬

The website is HORRIBLE and is NOT easy to get day tickets to AND from the island using the website HOWEVER when I finally broke down and just called, the staff was AHHHHMAZING and very helpful and we got our tickets purchased and from that point forward EVERYTHING was wonderful!!!! The boat staff were great, our captain Pancho was great 👍🏼😃 and it was smooth sailing to and from the island. Saw a Minke Whale and some dolphins and the captain even stopped to fish a balloon out of the water Yay!!!
