I could not have imagined a better birthday gift!! I received a Groupon as a gift because whale watching has been a bucket list item for years!
We left from Anacortes on a misty, cloudy morning. The captain and naturalists were very friendly. The boat had room for both indoor and outdoor viewing, and held approx 40 people.
We saw, fairly quickly, several humpback whales! We got great video and pictures of them flapping and their wonderful tails as they dove into the water.
The weather cleared up and we were blessed to have TWO separate encounters with Orca whales that seemingly appeared out of nowhere and came amazingly close to our boat! It was SPECTACULAR!!!!!
Afterward the captain stopped and pointed out sea lions, seals, and bald eagles.
It was a magical day! Highly recommend this company :)
