We hit the whale jackpot

Fabulous crew and amazing sites. We must have seen 25 or more gray whales with humpback further out. Even the crew were taken with so many whales so close to the boat. I hated for this tour to end. Certainly a highlight of our trip.

Wonderful Whale Adventure

The outing was filled with adventure, fun and education--and what a photographer's dream!!! The Naturalist was delightful--filling our day with facts while making it fun. We saw many, many whales and were able to get fabulous photos of these creatures in their own environment. We...More

Two Hours of Adventure

I am in a wheelchair, so before we made reservations we contacted them. We were assured that I would be able to be accommodated. The ramp going down to the dock is very steep. My husband took me down backwards. I am able to walk...More

Fun and worth the cost

We had a great time with our kids who are 8, 11 and 12. They loved all the activities on board. We would go again.

Great sightseeing

We were part of a tour group that stopped in for a whale watch. The captain and naturalist both were excellent guides and both were super impressed that we saw so many gray whales. It sure is frustrating trying to get good pictures of them,...More

Saw whales!

They warned us several times that sea animals are wild and unpredictable so they “hoped” we’d see a whale but couldn’t promise anything. We were very glad to find a large grey whale in the Bay that we were able to observe for 30 minutes...More

Would Do This Again

Would highly recommend this. Comfortable vessel. Lots of chances to participate. Knowledgeable captain and marine biologist. Would do this again. Great scenery. One of the best cruises of this type that I have taken. Don’t miss the sea lions in the nearby cove.
