We went on a whale watching trip with Eclipse yesterday. The captain and crew were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the whales and other wildlife in the area. The naturalists, Mary and Debbie, chatted freely and shared a bounty of information about the whales. They had books to reference which whales, and from which pods, we were viewing. Once we found the whales (which were PLENTIFUL), the magic started happening. We saw one of the larger whales chasing a salmon, RIGHT off the port side of the boat and under the boat. It was AMAZING!!! (Of course, the part about salmon "fishing" had nothing to do with Eclipse itself, but still worth sharing :-) The boat was clean and comfortable, with upper deck viewing area, and inside seating. Snacks and beverages available at a minimal charge. Definitely recommend!!!
