5.00Fun, informative and a lot to see. Definitely need to bring a warm jacket, a windbreaker and sunglasses. We saw humpback whales, orcas, seals and sea lions, bald eagles and a brown pelican flying solo. Liam was a great narrator and guide.

5.00Sierra and Joe were great in ensuring our comfort AND searching for whales. Tour operator offered pants and jackets. Use them. Even on a sunny day in the harbor, it was chilly out on the water.
Rigo is my guide. He has much knowledge and so energetic throughout the trip. He is the best!

5.00I’m very impressed with this trip. At first I thought that it might be the most boring day of my life sitting in the bus back and forth from Lasvagus to Grand Canyon for 15 hours. However, the bus stopped from time to time at the shops that we could find something to eat with very clean rest room. I enjoyed all 15 hours that I could stretch my legs from time to time.
Once in a lifetime experience!

5.00Exceptional experience. We saw orca, sea otters, humpback whales, and sea lions. The crew provide fun and helpful information and are fun and helpful. Not that this is guaranteed, but we saw 2 humpback whales breaching 30-40 times! This was a once in a lifetime experience!! Well done Eagle Wing!
