Although off-season we heard some folks saying they saw whales on a recent tour. We booked for a 10am departure on the 2.5-3.0 hr tour. The Boat we were on would hold around 100 people, I think there were 60ish people on our outing. Water was calm, we saw sea lions and dolphins on the way out to open water, about an 1hr and 20 min in we saw a blow spout., as we got closer we saw a humpback whale breach and then a tail flip, about 15 min later another, this continued for about 45 min with several breaches and tail flips surrounded by “dozens” of dolphin.
The Captain and First Mate kept Everyone informed and added interesting commentary. We had great time and was able to check a box on our bucket list. Reasonable price.
As with any ocean adventure, you pay for the boat ride and you might see something.
