5.00Layer up as it was chilly -but worth it. Liam and Ryan were helpful, knowledgeable and informative. We were fortunate that a humpback swam very close to the boat and surfaced. In addition to humpbacks we saw sea lions, a shoal of krill and sea birds. A really good trip.
We had a nice day whale...

5.00Amazing experience with great explanation by marine biologists. We had the chance to add see the full tail of the humpback whale, multiple killer whales, sea lions! It's great that the guide also take the pictures and will send them for free. So we can full appreciate without taking pictures. We left around 2 pm and came back at 5:10 pm. A must do. Small upper deck with only 10 persons allowed so be the first to board if you want the upper deck. Careful it's quite cold on the upper deck, coat, hat, gloves, scarf are needed.
