This was a trip worth taking again and again! We took the AM trip, and had a seat at the back of the boat. There was plenty of room to move around the boat. Their system is efficient and safe. The back of the boat was harder for me to hear the ongoing narrative about Whales from the loudspeaker, but I am hard of hearing, so take that into consideration. We were lucky to have a full morning of whale sightings. We saw a humpback whale, Sedge? that has been tracked since 1975. We saw a Fin momma and her calf, We saw lots of blow, backs of whales and tales. DO WEAR SUNSCREEN NO MATTER THE CLOUDINESS. I took my 3 teens, 15, 15, and 19 on it and they enjoyed it. This is an adventure worth repeating!

Amazing crew that helped load my family first because we have 2 daughters with special needs. We had our own spot due to one having cancer to keep her safe from possibly anyone who might be sick. At the end we let the other people disembark before us to show our thanks. Can’t wait to maybe one day visit and take this trip to see the whales again. Thanks for a great day!

Nearly everything about this whale watch was excellent. The time to the viewing areas was shorter than expected; the fact that they are very kid friendly while remaining informative was great! The only downside was the quality of the sound when someone was speaking over the microphone. It wasn't always understandable. Other than that, it was top notch!
