Beautiful day, weather and experience. Hopefully the next time we get to see Whales but the tour was just as great.
Be prepared to be sea sick, so take something before hand but totally worth it!
I was very pleased with our trip. I didn’t know what to expect, since some of these types of trips are subpar. But the instructions for getting to the boat and how to proceed once there were very clear and easy. Parking was validated and discounted. We left on time and there was lots of seating and space on the boat. The price was very reasonable for the 3 hour trip we had. There were several guides who were helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. We saw 2 shy, unusual whales and a few dolphins. It was a beautiful day on the ocean! It was not a party boat, thank goodness thought there were snacks and drinks available for purchase, with cash or card.
We had such a great time! It was a beautiful hot day! So the weather was perfect! The narrator was amazing! The fee was so reasonable! The 45 mins was perfect enough to get the history of the harbor! The amount of people was good. I just wish I could of been in the front of the line to get that outside seating above😉
We had a wonderful day trip with zero expectations of seeing a 🐋 humpback whale so when we actually saw a whale fluke in the ocean you can bet it was pure magic!
We loved it! Workers were very nice and helpful and they worked hard to make sure we saw wildlife. We saw two humpbacks and two common dolphin pods. Good value, and the workers were super helpful when our flight was delayed due to weather. They were able to get us on the next boat. We would definitely go again.
It was a very good value for the money and it was a very nice trip. We got to see all kinds of things, including the queen Mary, and we even saw seals.
The trip was amazing! We saw two humpback whales as well as dolphins. There were several mother and baby dolphins and my granddaughter absolutely loved it. The tour guides were knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions. I highly recommend Harbor Cruises.
Great experience, first time whale watching! Saw tons of dolphins and we did spot and follow a whale! So much fun, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made my first experience unforgettable.
Everything was good except for the Whales-no sign of Whales at the Whales watching tour
