There was no whale sighting and it was very cold. Not a great experience. It was in April and May have been wrong timing. On the boat the guide wasn’t audible as the cruise was very noisy.

Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience wasn’t what you had hoped for. Whale sightings can be unpredictable, as they are wild animals in their natural habitat. April is a transition period between gray whale and blue whale seasons, which can sometimes make sightings less frequent during that time. We appreciate your feedback about the guide’s audibility and will look into ways to improve this for future trips. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back during the peak of gray whale or blue whale season. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, we’d be happy to assist.
