Could not have asked for a better crew. Dolphins right of the bat, humpbacks everywhere,even a Grey whale. Seas seemed to be a bit rough for many people but the crew handled it all with humor and patience. They took extraordinary care of my husband and did a great job of making sure those who weren't sick got to see whales and those who were miserable didn't have to deal with too much. I thoroughly enjoyed the seas...I love wave action and if I didn't live across the country, I'd be right back there. The added bonus of our naturalist singing is into dock was a lovely surprise. Cannot recommend them highly enough.I know my daughter and her fiancee, who lives in CA, are already talking about doing the orca trip one Thursday with them.

Excellent whale watching! Saw so many humpback whales we lost count! Also saw Rizzo’s dolphins, sea lions and a sea otter mama and baby. Crew was great, informative and helpful. Seas were rather rough but boat was well handled and crew assisted those with sea sickness. We highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience, we saw dolphins and seals and were lucky enough to see several humpback whales including one breaching, something our party will not forget in a hurry. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable I highly recommend if you love marine life there were no shortage. We arrived on time only to find that the boat was almost leaving, we had not been told to arrive early on the email confirmation so that was my only complaint, they did let us board despite this.
