Excellent Excursion!

Whale Tales is an excellent excursion experience! The crew is fantastic! Lexi the bus driver kept us entertained with her corny jokes. James the captain got us to the best location for seeing whales. Griffin and Monica, the naturalists, were very knowledgeable! Griffin is a true whale nerd and very fun! We saw a total of 5 whales! You definitely want to book this excursion!

Awesome experience, boat and crew!

We saw a lot of whale activity from maybe seven different whales. Large and comfortable boat with an incredible crew: professional, knowledgeable, and experienced; from the shuttle driver through to the boat captain. This trip fulfilled a lifelong dream for my wife and her enthusiasm was matched by the crew. Shoutouts to Taylor, Michelle and Monica!
