Excellent experience! Saw lots of whales, the crew took very good care of everyone. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

We went on the morning whale watching encounter yesterday. We did not see a single whale. 2-1/2 hours of boat time. Guess that happens but I wish we would have read the fine print. When we got back we were told that the trip was NOT "guaranteed" if you used Groupon to book the trip. The captain was going to make an exception because her afternoon trip was not booked, and she said she would allow us to go out again (but only that same day). We could not fathom spending another 2-1/2 hours doing the same thing so we declined. Waste of time and money. Wish I would have brought a book...........
