Wonderful Trip Watching Lots of Whales!
Gary_P
, Feb 2022
Wonderful trip with a great crew out to spot whales, which was accomplished in spades! The trip was described as a splashy ride hitting lots of waves, but still totally doable if you don't have back problems. Although not your typical "catamaran," the boat had great speed and got us where we needed to go! Thanks for a great trip!

Saw Whales, Had Awesome Time
Michael_H
, Feb 2022
This was a really fun tour. The staff were all friendly and fun, and kept us comfortable during most of the tour. We did also see several whales, and they made a point of getting us as close as legally possible and letting the boat sit for a minute so we could observe and get pictures. I actually got a really good video of a whale's tail as it surfaced and slapped back into the water, too. I will say, I almost never get seasick, but it did get to be a bit much when we were stopped for a bit and on the way back. Still, that's no fault of the tour, just a small warning to people susceptible to seasickness. Still a wonderful tour, and I recommend it fully.
