The tour was relaxing and exciting at the same time! All of our tour guides were very knowledgeable about the whales and the area! The food on the boat was good! I would go on this tour again!

Great whale and sea life tour. Comfortable vessel. Don’t expect to be a lot closer to the whales due to avoid disruption, but with binoculars or a good zoom camera lens would be Ok. The are has lots of whale activity. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My only criticism is that the departure was late about 30 minutes I recommend this tour.

The experience was very enjoyable we saw a gray whale and 3 orcas whales. It was so much fun, and we learned a lot.

My wife and I took the tour on Sunday 13th April. The terminal was simple to locate, and all crew were excellent at what they do throughout the day. Early into the trip the crew located a family of Orcas and stayed with them (within legal distance) for the allowable time, before moving on to show us Eagles, Seals and Sealions. Add to this wonderful views from the Puget Sound and it was a great day.
