Amazing Whales on a Cozy Tour!

Meaghan_M, Aug 2023

WOW! This was such a great tour! We loved the smaller size. You weren't fighting with other people on a big boat for the best view, and it was nice to be able to ask our captain, Jordan, questions. We saw a ton of humpback whales and even a few full breaches. Everything ran smoothly from pickup to drop off. The homemade muffins and coffee/hot chocolate were a huge plus on a chilly morning. Would highly recommend this tour!!!

Thanks for your review! Sounds like it was a great time, glad we were able to make that happen for you!

A day to be treasured

Seeing 8 Humpbacks and having 30 minutes with a mother and calf and one right by the boat (by its own choice). To top it all we saw a mother brown bear and three cubs on the shore. All very relaxed, Joardan was amazing and knew exactly where to go to find the whales.

We’re so glad you had such a great time and we really appreciate the review!

Amazing once in a lifetime!

Deborah_W, Jul 2023

This trip was the highlight of my cruise! Was the absolutely only way to see the amazing animals and hear about the history of the area. We passed so many boats with at least a hundred people and going on this boat was better for so many reasons. The hot chocolate is the best too!
