Awesome experience seeing the humpback whales and a lot more wildlife. My family took the 4hr cruise. The cruise boat can be really bumpy at times. Heads up for people with motion sickness and vertigo.
This experience was phenomenal! Every member of the crew was kind, attentive and knowledgeable. The captain was knowledgeable and had a wonderful variety of knowledge and fun spots to show us!
Beautiful scenery! We saw a lot of wildlife also!
Exceeded all expectations! We saw whales, otters, and a multitude of birds to include puffins. The staff was friendly and over-the-top helpful as was the captain. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting close encounters with sea wildlife.
It was wonderful from start to finish. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. The boat was comfortable and the captain was knowledgeable and spoke when it made the best impact:
This was our favorite experience from our trip. The staff took such good care of us on the boat. At one point my daughter was "looking a little green," and one of the staff came up to check on her and give her something to help settle her sea sickness. She did fine on the rest of the trip. We also loved the enthusiasm of every single person on the boat incuding the captain who seemed just as excited for every spotting we had. He also took us to spots when he heard on the radio that other boats had spotted something. Overall - such a great experience. We would highly recommend this!
