I would give the tour 10 stars if that was an option! We had a BLAST!! We saw so many dolphins and got to see a fin whale! 🐳 The crew was so friendly and welcoming. The boat was nice, you can’t go wrong with this tour.

Great experience! We went out March 22 on the 3:30pm expedition. There were at least 8 whales and couldn't even count the # of dolphins we seen! The dolphins came across the whales and when we headed back we stopped to see them again as we crossed their path and they were so close to the boat! The captain and crew were informative. Definitely worth our trip!

I had a fabulous time on the whale watch tour! The staff and crew of Captain Dave’s were amazing! It was a beautiful day; and although we didn’t see any whales, we saw hundreds of dolphins!! I highly recommend this tour!!
