San Luis Obispo, CA

San Luis Obispo is the “we’re halfway there” between Los Angeles and San Francisco. However, San Luis Obispo offers much more than a stopover city. SLO is known for the beaches and the wine (two great things for which to be known!). Visiting Mission Plaza is like taking a step back in time to see the historic Spanish-style buildings.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
