  • Sadly no Whales 😔

    It was super duper cold and windy. We wore long sleeves and a hoodie but we were still cold. So bundle up. The water out is rough but going back in is smooth. They have hot drinks downstairs that I didn't know about so that's good to have when you're cold. Sadly no Whales seen but it's to be expected you can't control wild animals but I was still disappointed.

    The crew members were very nice and knowledgeable, but we did not see any whales. We did see a pod of dolphins. We went so far out- about 10 miles in the ocean, and it was very choppy. Bring warm clothing! Be mindful of getting seasick. There were quite a few people in our group getting sick or feeling very nauseous. Highly recommend taking Dramamine prior. The tour took the full 3 hours.
