If you want to watch the whales up close and personal, Discovery Whale Watch is the place to go! Serious! The crew was wonderful and personable. The boat was a little smaller with less people so you could really feel like you were having a personable experience with the marine life. The Captain knew right where to go to find the whales, Sea Lions, dolphins, Sea Otters, and other thing. They we knowledgeable about whale behavior, and were able to put us right in the middle of great camera shots. This was a highlight for our 30th wedding anniversary, and we will come back with family in the future. Once of s lifetime experience. First class all the way!
