    Our experience was amazing. Our guide and captain were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw 3 humpback whales, Orcas, sea lions and eagles. This tour was everything I hoped for and more. The little town was adorable too. Plan some time to explore and get something to eat before or after your tour.

    It was an amazing experience and the group size was not to big. Perfect to be able to take pictures and video of the whales. We were the only boat in the area; which was nice.
