Great experience watching whales yesterday. The boats are comfortable, the captain of the boat Elliot and guide Kate were very helpful throughout the trip. We saw a pod of orcas- it was a mesmerizing experience. My kids had a great and unforgettable day.
Great experience, spectacular views, very informative and professional staff. Will recommend and go back again.

I’ve lived in the puget sound area my entire life and never managed to see orcas on my own. They’re my absolute favorite and today was a dream come true!! Elliott did a fantastic job as captain getting us to the orcas, and our naturalist Ginny was full of information and enthusiasm. Thanks for an incredible morning!
