Spectacular opportunity to see whales up close!

5.00We had an amazing excursion! The captain knew right where to go to see the whales. We saw breaches, tails, fins, and bellies—multiple times in multiple places. The whales were so close to the boat and we were thrilled to admire them in such an intimate manner. Note to future passengers—to see whales, you will encounter rough seas. Plan accordingly if you are prone to seasickness, and if you don’t know, take some medicine before you go just in case. Multiple passengers on our trip were so ill that they missed it all. The excursion (as advertised) does not include beverages of any kind, so take water with you. ( We gave extra water to ill passengers because they didn’t have any with them.) We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with the trip, the crew, and the number of whale encounters we were privileged to observe!
Awesome experience and...
