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.

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.
