The 3 of us all enjoyed it immensely! We saw dozens of whales, so many dolphins and a sunfish! The narrator/scientist was fantastic! So informative, educational and fascinating! Cannot recommend this whale watch enough!

I have been on about 15 whale watches and this was very poor. In addition to not seeing whales (saw dolphins) as they do not track by sonar I did not feel the tour guide gave enough education and seriously doubt she was educated

Dear Dianne C., Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to leave us a review. We appreciate all good and bad, as it helps us improve where we can. One thing that I am 100% certain on is the experience of our educators on board. We receive multiple compliments a day, sometimes even direct emails from strangers, about how hardworking and knowledgeable our staff is. I am sure everybody reading your insult may not take your "review" serious, seeing as most other reviewers compliment the educators. Oh, and lastly, since you've been on about 15 whale watches... I am sure you know how different every trip can be; considering we go out to their natural habitat & can never predict what we will see, or how many whales we will see, because we aren't Sea World. Have a great day! Capt. Jim Owner

The crew knew where the whales were and took us there despite it making the trip far longer than planned. We saw whales, seals and sharks. The last two were an unfortunate combination for one of the seals as it was attacked and killed by a great white in a first for the crew to experience live predation. Sad but part of nature.
