Worth Every Penny
Had a great experience! Captain Brendan and his crew were amazing! The staff are great and humorous. We saw dolphins, sea lions, and whales!
Great Whale Watching Experience
We went on a whale watching cruise on 12/29/2022 (the 9:30AM departure). We were extremely lucky and saw 4 Humpbacks, 1 or 2 greys and a huge dolphin pod with at least a dozen dolphins who stayed with the boat for a long time. It was magical. The boat and the crew were great. Really recommend.
It was great, we saw plenty of whales, sea lions and dolphins. Staff was really nice. Lady at snack bar was really nice.
It was blast to see bunch of whales, dolphins, and sea lions. Staff was really nice and helpful. My son got little sea sickness but lady at snack bar helped us with meds and sprite. Deck staff was really nice, came few times to check on my son about how he is doing. Captain was knowledgeable and girl on upper deck who was spotting whales and explaining was nice too. She kept everyone engaged. Great cruise! Highly recommended
Great value, informative and we saw two whales!!!
We did this tour Oct 2022 and it was simply amazing. The Captain and staff were amazing. We were very fortunate to find two whales and we followed them at a safe distance for over 60 minutes- THANK YOU.
Ok tour
It was a nice tour but didn't see many whales... not the fault of the tour. Got long. Spent so much time looking for whales and too little time with dolphin watching.
