We saw 3 whales and was absolutely amazing! The audio was a little hard to hear on certain areas of the boat but other than that.... great!

We were hopeful we would be able to see something on the trip, but never expected the spectacular show we received. It’s not guaranteed to see anything, but we were impressed by the science and research behind the locations chosen for the cruise. They employ scientists to study the patterns, locations, and behaviors of the whales. The captain was more than accommodating whenever we saw anything to not only stop, but then the boat so everyone could get a view. The scientists on board explained behaviors and facts, which was a wonderful addition! We were able to see a pod of whales that played and fed around the boat for what seemed like hours. We spotted seals and dolphins swam and jumped along the boat on the way back. Can’t say enough about this tour!

Nice trip. The trip out to the whales was long, but the water was so pretty that I didn't mind. When we got to the whales we saw 4-5 humpbacked whales. Very thrilling for me since I had never seen whales in their natural environment before. The narration was informative but not overly technical. All in all a very good experience for all ages.
