This was a great adventure. We went on the 9am trip, had fantastic weather and a very welcoming crew. Had to travel out about 45 minutes before we spotted any whales. Only saw one at first but then it got busy! Overall had to have spotted no less than 15 humpbacks and were bless with one breach! The crew was awesome. A trip well worth taking!

It’s a lifetime experience to watch huge beautiful whales from such a close distance. There were plenty of them playing around in their majestic way. It’s a must watch tour. The Boat, crew and staff were very friendly and hospitable.

Great trip! We went on the 12:30 and saw so many whales. Highly recommend paying for the top deck. Better views, bathrooms, and less people.

Fabulous and knowledgeable staff. We saw no less than a dozen separate whales and witnessed a full body breach within 50 feet of the boat.

A very well done cruise! Beautiful boat, knowledgeable and friendly staff. We were very lucky to see so many Humpbacks. A wonderful day. I would recommend to anyone. I’m an 85 year old woman and I loved it!

Simply great experience. We saw whales, dolphins, sea lions and had a good description from the biologist

The crew knew a lot about the particular whale pod we caught up with. The little one jumped out of the water several tomes for us. Been whale watching several times out of San Fran, Cabo and Maui and never saw this much interaction this close. Took my older son (25) as he has never gone out before.

Fun, informative, great with kids. Had a beautiful day on the water and saw 7 humpbacks (a few jumping out of the water). Crew was friendly, responsible, and excited to share their passion for the experience.
