The crew was fantastic. We saw about 20 whales at once. The entire group of whales were feeding together and it was very exciting to see in person. The weather was misty and cool but managed to stay warm with a fleece and raincoat. We saw dolphins and sea lions and a sea otter. Great trip and boat was not crowded. Had plenty of room to move about and I liked that boat did not have an upper deck. Felt much closer to the water and sea life. Also loved the waves but could see how one could get sea sick. Highly recommend this boat tour. Took the 9am tour.

My first whale watching tour and it was amazing! The boat was smaller than others around, so I wasn't sure about the tour at first. Before we even were out of the marina we came across a Sunfish. Just the start of things to come. Once we spotted the first whale in the distance, it was on! We came across 3 or 4 pods/groups of whales converging all around us, it was awesome. Then we saw a Blue whale! Our captain Isaiah was knowledgeable and skilled, and his deck hand Monty took some amazing pics which he shared with us...so cool. We also got to see Dall's porpoises, Risso's dolphins, and Harbor porpoises. I would definitely recommend Discovery Whale Watching!

Trip was cut short due to weather but we still out on the boat for over 3 hours and received a partial refund! Saw sea lions, seals, Northern Right Whale Dolphins, Pacific White-Sided Dolphins and Hump Backed Whales. Dolphins were in great abundance and played along side and in front of the boat! Even though I came to see the whales and I was not disappointed on that account, the dolphins for me were the stars! Absolutely brilliant trip, with a wonderfully well informed and personable guide.
