5.00We went on the whale watching tour with Marcello the deck hand and Captain Beau, who both made the trip awesome. Great information regarding the whales and the habitat, and we were fortunate to spend a lot of time with a big group that were feeding right near the boat. It was a really nice experience from start to finish. I would recommend these folks in a hot minute, it was time well spent and worth every penny.
Beyond our expectations!!!

5.00We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Check in went smoothly and the boat crew was knowledgeable and super fun. Kai had a wealth of information and was so sweet and helpful to the kids on board. We saw more whales and seals than we ever imagined we would. At one point it felt like we were surrounded by them. We will definitely be booking whale watching experiences again in the future.
Boat too small for the number of paying guests.

2.00There is an extra $5 fee when you get there that Trip advisor didn't charge. There were twice as many people as seating so if you didn't get a seat you had to stand for 3 hours. We saw no whales but did see a sunfish. The company isn't responsible for that. Wildlife doesn't always cooperate. But the small boat meant you felt the choppy water and easily felt seasick and had to stand the whole time to boot.
June gloom and no whales

3.00The boat ride was fairly smooth and the crew was very attentive. We were out just under two hours and didn’t see any whales, only a couple dolphins, many sea lions, and sea/shore birds.
Fabulous!

5.00Staff was very knowledgeable of the sea life and answered all of our questions. They were very attentive to guest with seasickness. We enjoyed seeing the whales and learning all about then. Great staff and great experience for our family!
Incredible, BUT come prepared

5.00It was great! The crew were extreme Friendly and did a great job at explaining their safety rules and going around to make sure we were all accounted for and stayed safe. My one advice to people who have never been on a boat before is research how to avoid getting motion sickness. The crew members will ask you if you get motion sickness and provide tablets for it, but that only helps so much. A lot of us (myself included. It was my first time) threw up from underestimating the motion of the ocean. But don’t let that deter you. Getting to see the whales up close was a great experience!
Whale watching at its FINEST!!!
