What a wonderful afternoon on the Hurricane 11. this licensed coast guard vessel is comfortable, safe, and spacious. The crew was OUTSTANDING! Breathtaking views of the ocean, AND the whales who were so beautiful and graceful on the water. Our naturalist was amazing, education on the type of whales, their habits in the ocean, and why they have the names they do!!When it looked like we were heading back to shore after our spectacular 3 hour whale watch, we made a sudden left turn and sped up!! We were moving away from shore. Weren't we surprised and delighted that our captain and crew spotted dozens of dolphins!! knowing this would add even MORE joy to our already wonderful day, they took us right to them!! we slowed down to watch these beautiful creatures. we arrived back to shore later than expected because our captain and crew wanted to share with us their love of the ocean and all the creatures that live there. Thank you to our captain and crew for the most delightful and joyful experience.

It seemed as if more tickets were sold than there were seats available. Had to stand the whole hour ride back to shore because someone had rudely taken our seats. The crew was great and super nice but I was disappointed in the fact that we only saw 2 whales and waited in the same area the entire time for them to keep coming up.

Dear tay0896, Thanks for your review, I am glad you found the the crew to be nice and informative. As I'm sure you realize, we go out to the whales natural habitat. Sometimes we see 15 whales, sometimes we see 2, sometimes none - you just never know. We hope you are able to join us again & hopefully there will be more activity. Kind regards, Capt. Jim Owner

Whales are truly majestic creatures and seeing them live in person brought a whole new perspective for me and my significant other! The experience was amazing and the crew were so good! They were very knowledgeable about whales and these ones in particular they knew like family! Definitely recommend!
