    The crew is absolutely nice and friendly. They were very helpful. Unfortunately, we were in the waters for an 1.5 hours and didn’t see any whales. We sailed out pretty far. The waters were a bit rough for some people and they weren’t feeling well, The crew was supportive & helpful. On the return to the Harbor we saw a whale within the last 20 minutes of the trip. It was still exciting to see. They offer a free return if you don’t see a whale so it’s worth trying. It’s still amazing to see if only for a moment.

  • Very nice. We saw several whales

    Very nice experience. The boat was smaller than what I thought it would be but it was good and safe. I may recommend a motion sickness pill. It was rocky! We saw the whales. I was impressed with the knowledge of the young scientist on board, Sofia. Recommended

  • Great experience!!

    We saw 3 humpback whales traveling together which was incredible!! They take pictures for you and email them to you the same night which are great quality. If you get motion sickness, I would definitely take some motion sickness medication before the trip because it is a very bumpy ride. The tour guide is a whale expert. So, we learned a lot. Highly recommend!!

    Loved how relaxed the crew were and how respectful of the Whales they were. Would highly recommend booming with them. Take a rain coat/poncho for splash backs (although they do pull the sides down if it gets bad). Didn't want it to end. Thankyou:)

    Fun and friendly crew who were engaging and had lots of interesting info about the whales. The crew photographer sending pictures from the trip is a nice touch.
