Chances of spotting a whale are exactly the same, whether you choose the morning or afternoon departure. Whales don't wear watches.

Same goes for the days of the week. Each day has an equal chance of sightings. Whales do not have calendars.

In the unlikely event that your departure is cancelled due to poor weather conditions, we do our best to contact you in the morning at the phone number you provide. We will reschedule your tour for another day if you like or provide you with a full refund—your choice.

Guests with wheelchairs can access the vessel and interior main deck. However, the exterior top deck and the restrooms are not ramp accessible.

No touching the whales. No feeding the whales. No petting the whales. This is whale watching. We watch with our eyes.

    We had a great time on the whale watching tour! We were blessed that the Captain was able to find a pair of grey whales that entertained us for a long time. The bonus was a pod of dolphins on that way back to the harbor!! The seas were a bit rough but the crew did a great job taking care of anyone suffering.

    We felt very bad on the ship. We didn't get to see any whale or dolphins. We suffered cold and felt bad for 3 hours. Take a short tour, with option to go back if you do not feel well. We suffered and couldn't go back.

  • Saw whales, dolphin pod...
