Captain Nick was awesome & very educated on marine life. Nick told us up front what we would & wouldn't see do to the time of year. Boat was extremely comfortable, The ride alone made our day. Seen a variety of dolphin species & the weather was perfect. Wife & I had a blast & Definitely will go again

Really wonderful day on the water. Completely different experience than the huge floating-bus tours. Quieter, faster, got much closer to the animals. Totally worth the money.

Captain Nick was friendly and funny and his passion and excitement about the whales was contagious. We saw blue whales, a mother and calf, up close and comfortable with us because Nick knew not to frighten them. The boat itself was comfortable and clean. Having only six passengers was fantastic. We don’t like crowds so it was well worth the money to be in a small group. I’ll go again any time.
