Mother nature was sure on our side on our excursion day. Calm waters, warm breeze, and great company( 7 peeps total). Mickey, our Captain was very knowledgable about the topography of the surrounding area, and answered any questions we had about the whales that we could possibly come up with, and was a lot of fun. In total we saw 9 whales doing their thing. As cruisers the transport by Nicole from the Port to the Marina and John who finished our day with a scenic tour back to Port made our day memorable. Do this tour, cheaper and more personal than booking from your cruise ship
