Great day on the water !

Our captain stayed out on the water about an hour longer than our scheduled trip as we came across a pod of spinner dolphins so we got to watch them around our boat for awhile which was fantastic !
Experience you’ll love

It was early in Whale watching season but we still were blessed with 2 Jr whales breaching up out of the water. Also came across a school of about 200 small dolphins. Captain and crew were great. Enjoy!
Great experience

It was great not only did we see whales but also dolphins and the captain ensured we had enough time to enjoy the complete experience. Giving us time to enjoy all the sightings was important to him then to sticking to the 2 hour time frame.
Great time!

A very well-conducted trip. The ship was comfortable and boarding was easy. The Captain was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of valuable information on the migration and breeding of the whales. We saw a number of whales surface during the 2 hour trip and even saw some newborns!
We highly recommend this trip!
Show me a Whale!

If you want to see whales, this is the tour for you

I would rate this whale watching tour a 10+. This was the best whale watching tour that we have done. We seen so many whales, mom’s with their babies. January is definitely the best month.
Wow.

The Captain and crew were informed sailors— conveyed a lot of information about the whales and the ride smooth even with the large swells. I had a difficult time photographing the magnificent whales but a TOTALLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE.
