Jared and his staff did a great job. I had like a private tour since it was end of the season. Saw humpback whales, star fish, and Harbor seals. Driving my own zodiac boat was a lot of fun and easy to do!

Went in September. Rained on and off, and was windy. You will get wet and cold, but it was so much fun!

Be prepared for weather. But even rain didn't dampen the experience. We didn't see whales on this one but there was plenty of wildlife we did see. I would happily take the excursion again.

Fun experience; great guide. It was Amazing to view whales coming to surface for their feeding routine. New life experience cruising and driving a zodiac in the Pacific Ocean!!

We got to drive our own zodiac, and we followed our guide, Sarah, all over the lake to see a myriad of animals. We saw Stella sea lions, a bald eagle, but the best part was watching a humpback whale breach and frolic in front of us for at least 45 mins. It was an extraordinary experience!
