5.00Great time! All girl crews the BEST! Captain did a fantastic job finding all the wildlife and the crew mate shared tons of details! She stayed out side the entire time- rain or shine and made sure none of us missed anything ! Take the tour! Well worth it!

5.00Sam was an excellent guide for this excursion. Genuine and very welcoming. The boat is clean and has fun snacks! Although we didn't happen to see any whales, we did see plenty of bald eagles as well as seals sunbathing. It was a lot of fun and with awesome company. Highly recommend checking this out!
