Saw lots of whales and other wildlife. We had a nice long boat ride. Beautiful sunset. Staff was EXCELLENT knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. Wish I knew that we needed cash for food as well as gratuities food was available for cash only. Recommend announcing this Over all was an amazing experience and we’d do it again

This was our family’s first whale watch and we all loved it! The crew along with the naturalist was amazing! Everyone was so kind and informative. We had an afternoon trip, and due the proximity of the whales, they gave us a heads up that this would be a long trip. We headed out for about 2 hours until we got to see a ton of action! There were lots of common dolphins chasing fish and leaping out of the water, there were many seals and 13 whales! We even saw a few sharks, including a great white attacking a seal! The weather was absolutely beautiful. I’d suggest bringing a hoodie and a jacket though! We were in the boat for about 5.5 hours. I would highly recommend this trip and look forward to going again in the future.

Operators were super well-informed on the different types of whales and had cute anecdotes of whale behaviours they had observed over the years. They also had educators on board who went around with artefacts and boards to share more about whales. The one we spoke to not only shared his knowledge of the whales, but also answered all our various questions about the whales and dolphins that we spotted. Generally a super good and educational experience. They really know what they're doing. Small warning to bring a jacket/sweater if you're not good with the cold/wind.
