We had a great time on the whale watching tour. The boat was spacious and comfortable. The kids loved the unlimited free hot chocolate and of course being able to see so many orcas, sea lions, seals and birds! The naturalist on board was very knowledgeable and answered all of my kids’ questions with such kindness. We got very lucky with the weather and were able to see many transient orcas playing within an hour of the tour start. I also very much appreciated that this tour is eco-friendly. They don’t sonar track or bait the whales. If the whales get too close, the captain will turn off the motor as to not scare or injure the whales. They also compost on the ship. 10/10 experience and highly recommend!
Worth the money 🤑
