Great experience

Trip was nice. We did see some whales and otters. The meeting location was easy to find. Narrator, I think her name was Hannah, was amazing! She gave us facts about the animals and she has cute jokes thrown in. She was great!

This excursion was well worth it--we saw numerous whales, otters and sea lions. The crew, especially Brooke, was great.

Prepare for the experience of a lifetime!

From the moment we stepped on the boat we were treated so well. Our guide, captain, and deck hand were friendly and accessible. Their sharp eyes and extensive knowledge proved invaluable in spotting and explaining the wildlife. The hot chocolate was a nice touch as the wind was a bit cool.

Incredible!!!

I can not say enough about this exceptional experience! We started with bald eagles everywhere around us at the dock. Then saw seals arguing with each other to get on a buoy. Then the others were just lounging near an island. So cute! Finally we made it to the whale area. At first we saw a Grey whale in the distance near another boat. However, it soon turned toward us and literally dove under our boat. So incredible.
