My friend and I went on a whale-watch tour with this company last weekend. The boat, the "Kestrel," was a brand-new high-speed Zodiac type boat that got us to where the whales were really fast. I've been on another whale watch tour in the San Juans, and this one was nice because we got to spend more time watching whales and less time traveling. The owner, Brian, was captain, and I appreciated that he kept a respectful distance from the pod of four transient whales, which we got to observe for quite some time. Some of the other whale watching boats, especially the ones from Canada, seemed to get too close to the whales for comfort. We also had a naturalist, Eric, on board who was engaging and could answer any question without chattering the whole time. Overall, a great experience and really cool to see these amazing creatures in their natural environment.
