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.

Might be a decent Company. They did refund our $, called to cancel siting bad weather and not expected to be better until next Thursday. The day we had scheduled for was beautiful. My guess is there were not enough passengers to take the tour out, so being honest would have given them a higher rating.
