5.00My father and I had the great pleasure of whale watching with Captain Jaren and three additional passengers. We saw many whales— grey and humpback—sea otters, and eagles. Captain Jaren was extremely knowledgeable and added educational and comical commentary throughout our excursion. We had a lovely time on the water and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
What a Splash!

5.00Make sure you're dressed appropriately. Our guide was great! Alot of fun. Trying to find a whale can be hit or miss. But our guide took us to great spots where we saw and experienced a whale-a-palooza!
Highly recommend this small boat and wonderful guide to see whales and wildlife in a private boat setting
