Excellent tour! Great naturalists and interns, very knowledgeable and helpful. Learned a lot and saw many many dolphins - no whales this time, but did get to see sea turtles and stingrays, as well as many species of birds. Beautiful views from the boat!

The staff were amazing! Having trained scientists onboard to talk about the sea life was a welcome addition. We had plenty of room to roam around & the food/beverage selection was good. We didn’t see any whales but plenty of dolphins & a beautiful day.

    Beautiful experience

    It was a very nice ride on the ocean. The captain did an awesome job navigating around the dolphins. We didn't see any whales, but that’s nature. The crew was informative and polite.

    Highly recommend! :-)

    Time well spent

    Whale watching trips are dependent on whales “showing up”. This particular cruise was loaded with sightings of whales, dolphins, birds, and even a bald eagle. The real benefit of the cruise were the naturalists on board who gave information about the animals - whether we saw them or not. It was an educational, well organized, and well worth our time trip.

    Fantastic educational experience

    The staff was friendly...

    The staff was friendly and gave helpful feedback on where to look for sea life. Didn’t see any whales but the tour was still a great choice. The staff had sea creatures on board (small) type petting experience for the kids during the time while looking for whales.

    We had excellent weather,...

    We had excellent weather, a knowledgeable crew, and a great time. We saw lots of dolphins, including a calf, and a humpback whale.
