Absolutely amazing experience. Couldnā€™t believe our luck seeing multiple groups of humpback whales and the epic finale of a Orca/ Killer Whale pod in a fight with a Humpback Whale pod! Plus the added bonus of Rissoā€™s Dolphins at the very end. A beautiful day on the water. The staff were incredible on our tour, including the very talented Isiah and crew. Would definitely recommend spending a half day out on the ocean doing this tour with Discovery Whale Watch.

This was a wonderful experience and by far much better than we had expected. We scheduled the morning tour because we thought the sea would be calmer. We experienced some swells and one person got little sick. The crew went above and beyond for our experience to be a unique one. They were all very enthusiastic about the outing - guiding us to look out for sightings and moving the boat to get a closer or better view. We were very fortunate as we got to see more that 20 whales, some 5 killer whales , sea lions and a pod of dolphins! As we waited for the sightings, the crew went to explain details about each species, they made sure to answer everyoneā€™s questions and went around and spoke to all around the boat. The trip was not only beautiful but also a learning experience. Highly recommended! Do layer up as it can be cold out on the bay.

This was the best decision we made on this trip! The small size made it really personal and everyone had a great view - we saw TONS of whales! Andrew made it so interesting and fun. Definitely recommend this trip over the larger, more crowded boats we saw. This was the highlight of our trip and a day we'll never forget!
