A good spur of the moment choice. It was Super Bowl Sunday and we didn't have a packed boat, the food was good and the staff were great. The historic portion was not all that impressive, as it sounded like someone was yelling at us while reading a teleprompter. Still, would highly recommend. We saw whales, both spinner and bottle nose dolphins, and met a nice couple from Cape Cod. The company was friendly and professional and helped us book a dive with another company.

Aloha PNWtrailrunner_2019 Wonderful to hear. Apologies on behalf of the historian. We will look into what went on that night because our historians generally give spontaneous-feeling oral histories with real feeling behind their words. Happy you had a great time and decided to give us a shot last minute! Didn't miss much out of that Super Bowl! Mahalo, Body Glove Ocean Adventures

Took the dinner cruise today with close college friends. Trip started with a Mai Tai and it was very good. History of the area along the trip was quite enjoyable. Hor d'oeuvres were chips, roasted red pepper hummus, cheese, veggies, crackers, rolls and spinach dip. All very good. Dinner was tossed salad, 3 bean salad, salmon salsa, chips, dips again, rice, pork with cabbage, chicken and beef brisket. Cheesecake for dessert. All was very good. Fun entertainment as well. A singer who played anything you requested. And! a fantastic sunset on the way back.
