Saw lots of sealife. The Captain /Tour narrator was exceptionally good! He was very informative without overloading information, seemed genuinely enthusiastic himself, and conveyed the sense that we were in very good hands. The whole tour experience from booking to the end, when we retrieved our stored luggage, was very fast and friendly. It is an outstanding company!
The experience was fun and informative. My wife really enjoyed herself & that was important to me. It was a fun experience.
Beautiful scenery! We were worried because it was rainy, but it was a great tour - saw humpback whale, puffins, goat, sea lions, otter, seals, and an eagle.
The crew on boat were great! The weather and seas were rough so we were not able to see much wildlife but they did the best they could considering. Lots of poor people were getting seasick. Very scenic but the weather was just not working in our favor. Whether you get motion sickness or not I would advise you to take it ahead of time to be safe.
We got really lucky, the captain got a heads up on a humpback, we went directly to the island and got over a half hour of close encounters with the whale. The captain was knowledgeable and tried not to interrupt or talk too much. They had hotdogs and easy Mac for purchase, which was perfect for our little one. We also saw lots of birds, seals, sea lions, otters, and even a mountain goat.
Great trip! Had a blast. Saw puffin birds, goats, eagles, sea lions and fin whales. Captain Clint got us right next to shore to view the wildlife and was on point for the whales.
Staff was excellent and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the tour!
Amazing wildlife viewing. Orcas, seals, puffins, mountain goats… On and on!
Scenic boat ride. Rough seas but staff warned us before check in and provided necessary medication for sea sickness.
We went on the 4 hour wildlife cruise and it was fun! Staff was very friendly and helpful!
