I took the 8am whale watching trip and had an awesome experience. We were lucky enough to see a mother whale and her baby up close, which was amazing to witness. The staff were fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the whole trip enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for a great 2 hours Whale watching, great information on Whales & crew very knowledgeable. Grand daughters love it. Thank you
No whales but not for lack of trying by the friendly crew. In hindsight, we wished we had gone with the competing company who offer a guarantee so you can come back and try again. Keep this in mind as this company does not offer that as an option.
Our trip was hampered by the cold and wet spray. The boat was inadequate for comfortable riding and viewing. In fact we were nearly freezing. and unfortunately we saw no whales. Great crew.

Amazing trip!
Booked this trip on a whim and ended up being a really great couple of hours on the water. Crew were really knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. 2 hours was a perfect amount of time on the water. Crew found the whales pretty quickly and spent a good amount of time watching them from afar. Highly recommend!
