Fantastic afternoon out whale watching

We booked last minute and if did not disappoint, great shuttle bus driver giving us information about the local town. We then met Nia our guide and what a personality. Nia was paired with Captain K and they make a dream duo. It’s clearly both of them have a passion for the environment and wildlife. Nia was so prepared for the trip out we were lucky enough to see groups of whales and Nia provided so much information about the behaviours and lifestyle of these beautiful whales. Thank you for a great trip.

Loved it!

This tour was so fun! We saw many whales and sea lion and the boat was comfortable and great for seeing whale. There weren't too many people on the tour and it was a small boat so you were close to the whales. Highly recommended!

Recommended wale watching trip

Had a great time with Joey and Capt K. Joey was very knowledgeable about the different wales and their names also other sea life around the area. Capt K prior to leaving the dock gave the required Coast Guard speach very well and understandable. He expertly operated operated the vessel making sure to turn it so all could see the wales and sea lions. All in all a very good trip.

It’s not whale watching it’s tail watching.

You spend more time waiting and you barely see a whale it’s more like tail watching. Plus the boats are not allowed to get that close.

We couldn’t really see...

We couldn’t really see any whales and the boat wasn’t that nice. Wouldn’t book on here again for a whale watching experience.

Great job!

Well-organized activity from loading onto the bus, to the boat, and back. Captain Max and Naturalist Jackson were excellent, obviously very competent and knowledgeable. They worked well together.
