We booked the tour in the morning. The boat was rather small and not overcrowded with a very friendly crew who knew a lot about the animal world and talked enthusiastically. We saw whales, dolphins and a colony of sea lions chasing a school of fish. At the end, near the harbor, we also saw a sea otter. The boat always kept a respectful distance from the animals. Windproof clothing and travel tablets are recommended, as some passengers got seasick. Overall, a very impressive experience and recommended.

A very nice experience with very friendly and professional staff. With very good explanations. We saw a lot of whales as well as sea lions. I recommend.

Wow! After a clear, but fun safety instruction, we enter the bay. All wildlife (birds, otters, jellyfish) is pointed out and explained with enthusiasm by the knowledgeable lady (marine biologist). Captain Danny takes us to a stretch outside the bay and wow! > 10 whales seen; waving its fin and tail, a young one jumping, eating. And close!!! We were really lucky! What was very nice: they care about the sick, they make sure everyone can see clearly, and (it's quite chilly, so nice) you can just grab a hot drink. Absolutely great☺️
