5.00We had a great time. We saw humpback whales jump from the water several times. We got lucky, they can't guarantee that. We also saw dolphins. The person on the loudspeaker was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and great about pointing out where to see the animals. Don't forget a sweater, it was hot on land and freezing and windy on the open ocean. Give yourself some time for parking. If the aquarium parking is full you can park at The Pike structure.
Amazing trip saw a lot

5.00The experience was unforgettable. We spent nearly an hour with a whale circling our boat and interacting with us. Every single person on our trip was mesmerized. The aquarium employee and volunteer were great. They added a lot of interesting information about the whale’s behavior. This was my second trip with this company and we really enjoyed the first one as well.
