I was skeptical about booking a whale watch tour as I know they can be hit-or-miss for seeing whales. We had an excellent day and saw about a dozen humpbacks! The tour guide was so knowledgeable about the whales and could even identify the whales by name. She didn't talk too much but let us enjoy watching the whales do their thing. The captain did a good job of turning the boat so each side was able to see the whales. We sat on the top deck and it was great so we could get up and see the whales if they were on the opposite side of where we were sitting. The length of the tour was perfect. We went out at 8:30 and were back around 11:30 I think. I would definitely do this tour again when I want to go whale watching.

Great trip and the guides were awesome!! They provided great information and enough time to see different pods of whales. My kids saw 15 whales and had a great time. Definitely recommend them!!

We had a wonderful time. The girl telling us about the whales was very informative and did a wonderful job talking to us. The best thing we saw was two whales sleeping side by side. They were just laying there and then they would go under water for a while and then back up to rest again. Very exciting. The weather was perfect and we had fun. Looking forward to going again next summer.
