I'm a local (well, after 13 years, I think I can claim that), this was my first trip whale watching in SD while my family visited. It was an amazing experience and beautiful day on the water. The crew was great - regular updates from the captain and guide, facts on the wildlife and region. We saw a lot of dolphins and unfortunately, a few whales from waaaaaaaay out. The company has "high standards" for what they consider whale watching so gave everyone a 50% off coupon to return in the future for a better whale view. Excited to go back with some local friends! Parking is on the street, super easy. The kiosk is a little hard to find, but right next to the fish & chips place on the marina side.
