Naturalist narrative was very insightful. We saw 2 different pods of orcas and seals. Food was surprisingly good. The thumb drive with pictures was worth it.

A fantastic excursion! I highly recommend the premium seating when booking, the seats are nicer. A nice snack bar onboard. A great experience. Would do again the next time I visit Seattle in the summer.

Great relaxing boat ride. Good information from woman on microphone- probably a biologist. Captain made sure we went to a reported whale sighting and we hit a jackpot. Great opportunity to see these majestic creatures. Definitely recommend
