1.00Bad 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!

5.00A 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

5.00Well 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.
