A great experience! Checking in was very easy with nice staff members to greet us. Once we were on the boat the captain, naturalist and deck hand were all fantastic. Our kids had tons of questions and they were very happy to answer all of them. We saw many sea lions and a humpback whale. We highly recommend Discovery Whale Watch!!! We will definitely be back again.

Had a great time. On the way out of the harbor, we were able to see an Osprey, sea lions, harbor seals, and otters. Spent about 45 minutes getting out to where the continental shelf drops off. Once we arrived we started spotting blue and hump back whales all along the drop off. Right we before we started to head in, the boat captain is pretty sure he gave us a view of a fin whale. All in all a good trip and highly recommend.

This was a really fun experience and we saw a huge amount of whales. We went in mid Dec. The boat has a minimum of 7 guests and a maximum of 50. When we went, there were 12 people, so there was lots of room to move around and see everything from all sides of the boat. The captain seemed to know where the whales were and helped find the best places. They also had a marine biology specialist on board to help explain what we were seeing. All in all, really good trip.
