What an awesome experience! My hubby and I each had a Groupon ($39!!) for our tour otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford to take this cruise... It was a worthwhile splurge and a really fun afternoon out on the water- the boat was comfortable and spacious inside, though we spent almost the whole time out on deck for the best views! The captain went straight out to where the whales had been spotted and we were lucky to see a pod of 9 orcas (2 of them were really young) swimming in front of us. At one point the pod swam right up to and under our boat- what a thrill! It was hard to say goodbye to the whales, but on the way back the captain and the two naturalists on board were busy pointing out all the other wildlife in the area- seals, bald eagles, porpoises, deer, many different kinds of birds, etc.. We definitely recommend the Orcas Island Eclipse Charters- it was a very memorable afternoon with the Orcas!
