It was a fantastic tour! The boat wasn't crowded, and the crew was excellent. We had plenty of time to watch orcas and even got a tour of the surrounding islands from the captain. The boat was well-equipped with a restroom and a cozy indoor area to escape the wind.

We had a great time on this tour. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. We saw orcas, a humpback, and a minke whale! The scenery is breathtaking and the boat is very comfortable with plenty of room. It gets a bit cold when the boat is moving so layer up. Highly recommend!
