See 6 to 10 whales. One close to boat. Ship was very tidy. Staff friendly and knowledgeable
Honestly just amazing. I’d never seen whales before and the tour guides were so cool
This was absolutely amazing to experience and this is once in a lifetime.
Dalton, Hannah, and Grace Anne were very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife. Highly recommend!
After some bad whale watching excursions in Maui, HI and Dana Point, CA, I really was skeptical about this when I booked it. I'm glad we did not skip out due to my apprehensions. We saw SO many whales, sea lions, eagles, etc. At some points we were seeing 3-4 whales at one time. It was a lovely experience with a brand new bus, and brand new boat. Well maintained and clean, we were also given complimentary snacks and drinks during our 5 hour itinerary. The lighthouse stop is scenic and beautiful, and was a very quick 10 minute detour. The rest of the time was spent marveling at the amazing sea life and listening to the naturalists explain everything in detail. My kids are 5 and 9, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves too. The bus driver narrated during our drives, and was hilarious too! Many thanks to the naturalists, Chris and Coral, and Captain Stephen for a wonderful experience.
Was such a good experience! Our captain, Stephen, was amazing, along with our guides Annika and Grace Anne! We saw so many cool animals and the lighthouse was stunning. It was well worth the price, we got to spend so much time on the boat. We were lucky enough to have a smaller crowd, but even with a full boat this would be great for all ages!
Friendly and amazing, this tour is great. Visiting the lighthouse and saw whales, sea lion, sea otter.
This was a phenomenal tour. We took a motorcoach to the meeting spot with the boat, stopping to take photos with the glacier on our way. The boat was comfortable and not too crowded. Plenty of room to move around. The narration by the guide was exceptional! Huge bonus that the staff on the boat has great cameras and immediately shared great photos with everyone on the trip, I wish more trips did that. We came for the whale watching but also loved seeing the large group of sea lions, eagles, and the lighthouse & wildflowers. This was an A-plus trip, thank you.
Fabulous excursion, great people and sights!
Captain Dylan with M/V Finn was phenomenal. This review needs 10 stars- not 5! He was very polite, professional, and made sure we did what we paid for ( which was exceeded). Perfect size vessel for 3 couples. It felt like a National Geographic expedition.
