I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. There were 8 people aboard for the tour, the boat was absolutely beautiful and every luxury was provided. We were greeted warmly, offered our choice of refreshments (champagne, wine, beer, water, soft drinks) and snacks. We saw a huge group of Stellar Sea Lions resting on rocks, and a number of whales including one who was apparently napping. The captain knew just what she was doing, and the naturalist was so passionate and knowledgeable about the animals. We have done other whale watching tours before, but trust me, THIS is the way to do it.
