This is a must if you're visiting Newport. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Emma and Captain Nick were amazing. We learned so much about sea life, birds in the area and learned about crab boats, shrimp boats and so much more. Emma was very knowledgeable. We were fortunate to see a whale and it was fabulous. Captain Nick spotted it and cruised towards it and as we waited patiently it surfaced and blew through its hole 3 times then went under the water giving everyone on the boat a good wave with its tail. Even if we didn't see a whale, the tour was amazing. We will definitely be doing this cruise every time we visit Newport.…

This trip is advertised as being a whale watching cruise. As we took off from the dock, we were told we were lucky as the water was fairly calm and the fog was not hugging the shore. We were told the whales stay close to shore this time of year and that we had a good chance of spotting some whales. The captain ventured out into the ocean and we traveled parallel to the coast looking for whales. After 30 minutes, he decided to give up on the whales and proceeded to cruise the river for the remaining 1-1/2 hours. Very disappointing and a waste of money for anyone hoping to see whales. I feel that this captain made very little effort to give us a whale watching opportunity.…

Our family had a wonderful time on this boat tour. We learned a lot about Newport - the town itself and its natural surroundings. Catching the crabs and phytoplankton was fun and educational. Thanks to our knowledgeable naturalist and skilled captain for a fun cruise.

The boat and crew were top notch. A little more crowded than we would have liked during covid. Some family groups just did not give enough space. The ride and guide information was great. We were able to spend time in the Pacific ocean and the bay. We did not see any whales on this trip, but did see a porpoise, seals, and plenty of sea lions.…
