This review is being written 4 years after our tour lol. We did not have the typical experience on this whale watching tour, but would 100% recommend nonetheless. My boyfriend had a great time, but I got so seasick that I spent the entire time hunched over the side of the boat. The staff was extremely sympathetic, offered ginger and water, and tried to help as best they could. I do remember seeing a good amount of marine life, including whales feeding.

On Nov 19th 2024, we went on the 10am tour with Discovery Whale Watching. It was probably the highlight of our vacation. The crew was superb! I'm terrible at remembering names but they all deserve a lot of credit. They were knowledgeable and engaging and truly made the trip memorable. We saw several whales and were blessed with the opportunity to see a Humpback and her calf feeding on a school of anchovies. These animals are amazing and it truly was an experience we'll never forget. I highly recommend Discovery. You won't be disappointed. They are true professionals

Fantastic trip and saw loads of Humpback Whales out in the Bay as well as Sea Lions, Dolphins and a Shark! Very knowledgeable guide who was happy to answer any questions we had. Definitely worth doing if staying in the area.
