Our adventure started with boarding the vessel at Whalers Village. Directions were clear and once everyone was on board we made our way out to see at least 6 whales close up, several that breached within viewing distance and two that came right near the boat! Lanie explained a lot about the whales habits, reasons for being in the area, birthing info and more. Very informative and interesting. Captain kept chasing whales and we all saw a lot of activity. 2 hrs went quickly. Everyone was nice and helpful.
