Whales everywhere!

What a great trip! The staff was very knowledgeable but also very personable. They walked around and talked about what we were looking for, made sure we all got to see regardless of where you start by sitting. We saw 4 humpback whales and dozens of dolphins on my trip. It was amazing!

Worth every penny

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up seeing SO much aquatic animals. 3 common dolphin pods, 4 separate hump back whales and more. The captian was amazing at getting us to the right location and moving when needed.

Good experience and good trip at 2:30.

I had a trip at 9 AM. We did not see any whales. But we saw many dolphins, the place was very clean. I do not recommend that monkeys go in front; it is cold.
