    We had a great time. The boat is smaller and there are less people so everyone gets a good view of the water. We saw a few different sets of whales but a man with her baby was by far the best! They went right under the boat. So close!

  • Basic for just seeing whales

    Fine for basic whale watching. They did take us places to see the whales but people had to ask about the whales versus someone offering information. There was no hydrophone, water as stated and they do not help you on or off the boat so be careful. Last year we used this company and they did all of this, that’s why we went again but we found out that the female captain and naturalist now started their own company. We would not personally come back to this one.

  • A way to make your vacation magical!!

    This tour was so amazing. Lily and Lacy were so knowledgeable but also so genuine in their excitement to see whales and a surprise pod of dolphins. This was the perfect experience and the bonus was learning at the end that their company and team supports whale rescue. Thank you for such a great time and for finding a baby whale!

    The smaller boat is the only way to go. The crew was fantastic, I personally saw 6 whales breach completely out of the water a once in a lifetime experience so cool. This is a 5 star+ excursion and we'll worth it.
