Relaxing day to enjoy sightseeing and being out in the water! I just wished we got to see more different whales and it would be cool to have the videos of them coming out of the water because they (the minke whales) were fast and it would have been cool to have that as a souvenir! It was also a little hard traveling solo because the seating up on the open decks get filled quickly and most people who had another person with them got to save their spot. There were a bunch of kids running around but I learned to shut them out and stayed in my own peaceful space lol. But it got cooler in the end and people eventually moved back to their assigned seats. I didnāt even sit in my assigned seat the whole time & when I went back to it in the very end, someone was sitting there.
Overall, I absolutely enjoyed my time and I am glad we stayed out longer because we had to go out farther than usual to find them. I love seeing the birds & the harbor seals too! The tour guide speaker was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the commentary during the trips and when/where to look.
I was definitely looking forward to this tour because this was the reason why I booked the flight to Seattle and it was their last tour date of the season and I am so glad I made it! Although it was pricey & I would have paid premium to have the best seats, it somehow amended the tour option I got and maybe itās because it was only for me. The kids getting a whale toy in the end is also cute that they cater to kids but itās like paying for a sports event and the kids who know nothing about the sport are the ones getting the souvenir lol. Maybe it would help to borrow someoneās child next time to go with me jk lol. I still highly recommend this tour and I would definitely do this again and again! I will never get tired of watching animals! I also love that they follow the animal welfare guidelines and know that I am not contributing to harming any animals along the way. These animals are fascinating and this was such an amazing opportunity to see some animals & I already canāt wait until the next time.
