    Boring but Didn't Have to be

    Tasha_Y, Apr 2026
    It started off good, the captain and first mate made their introductions, went through safety rules and had good energy. The first mate spent a little time telling us what we're looking as we were heading out into the ocean and then that was the last we heard from him for almost 3 hours. I get you can't control if we see any wildlife, but I expected some interaction and engagement. Bring us along the journey, give us updates on what's going on, where we're heading, what we're looking for. Teach us about the types of whales and sea life that come through here. I know they have it in them because we got that info about the sea lions as we were pulling back into the harbor.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback — we’re glad you enjoyed the crew at the start. You’re right that the experience should feel engaging throughout. During our trips, the primary focus is actively searching for whales and marine life, which requires constant attention from the captain and crew. At times, that can limit ongoing narration as we work to locate wildlife. We appreciate you sharing this and will continue working to balance both the experience and our focus on finding animals.

    So much fun!

    It was a great tour. Knowledgeable crew. Saw three whales and two dolphins. A bit of a rough ride due to the weather but overall amazing!!

    It's the experience!

    No expectations of seeing a whale. That said the wild life and the ride seeing the beauty of the Pacific was totally worth it. We also saw whales they were so very cool, and Huge!

    Best Whale-watching Experience

    We had a wonderful time and we did get to see whales. The weather was beautiful. Being on the water and enjoying the sea was great, the bonus was the sea life. I believe his name of the tour guide is Carlos, he was great and answered all question.

    Look forward to a friendly and professional staff and crew… whales were hard to come by, but we did enjoy other wildlife ( various birds, otters and sea lions)
