5.00I have used this same company 3 times now for my whale watching. The people are very nice. The captain is a safe driver and the lady on the intercom came around afterwards and answered all my questions. I recommend this company.
Excellent time!

5.00While waiting in line, Kristen, a marvelous crew member, brought around some Opalescent Nudibranches and a Spanish Shawl she had just picked up by the boat area. She chatted with us about these species and other interesting information. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining on the boat, as well. We did see a mother and calf humpback whales, which was so exciting. That’s been on my and my husband’s bucket lists. The behavior of birds, sea lions, and whales in the wild was a memorable experience.
This was an amazing...
