A shout out to Captain Chris, Kevin & son for an excellent experience! Sightings of Grey Whales, Risso dolphin pods, sea otters & sea lions! We even hung out for awhile to watch the risso’s mating ritual. Very welcoming and informative of the sea life and area! Easy to find location with transparent precise directions to the boat dock. Thank you for an awesome experience!!
Great trip

Bad experience. We did not see whales, but until then it was not the fault of the organizers or the friendly guide who accompanied us. What made us indignant was that, while swinging the boat a lot, my wife went badly and went to the bathroom of the boat. A lady, apparently from the organization, instead of worrying about the human being, began to kick her out of the bathroom so she didn't dirty it. Sorry about the attitude.
A great day seeing whales!

A great day! We got to see a humpback whale breach and a lot off other views and good shots of tails. I have some mobility issues and had crutches but the team was very help getting me on and off the boat etc. We felt very safe, had a great time, and learned some things about the whale, otters, and the area. Thank you!!
Lots of whales

Well run organization great at spotting and getting us good views of the whales. They run a safe trip making sure they are not going when weather would make it a rough ride making people uncomfortable.
