Wow. Captain Nick was incredible. We knew we weren't taking this trip during the "prime" season.. but Nick and his tour were beyond anything we could've hoped for. The boat is incredibly comfortable - super smooth and super dry.. we saw TONS of dolphins surrounding the boat throughout the trip.. and we had multiple whale sightings! In addition, we saw the more standard larger boats out there with us but WAY farther away from the action.. this was super close, intimate, and Nick's knowledge and education gave us an incredibly rich experience! Must do, and will do this again soon with other friends!

Incredible experience in every respect. Captain Nick was fantastic, and focused on us having the best experience possible. Spent the afternoon in the delightful company of whales, dolphins and sea lions. Couldn't have had a more enjoyable afternoon

Captain Nick was genuinely excited about providing a great experience and he was also enjoying himself! So fun to see his exuberance, especially when he saw the humpback whales. He was knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humor. We will only book with him on return trips.
