I would give this 4.5 stars if I could do a half star! I have done a lot of whale trips and this was an excellent experience! The crew was engaging and kind and worked hard to give us a good time and we were not disappointed! We rode along with a pod of humpbacks for at least an hour. We will have some incredible photos once we get home. They have both in and out seating, and the out seating is protected from the rain. The half star is only because I am a nerd and really love it when the naturalist is able to identify all the birds, and other animals, and talks about the geology of the area, etc. and the could have been a little more of that. Otherwise, fantastic and I highly recommend!!
