Beautiful, successful whale watch!

Nice tour, we did see whales which was the purpose of our trip. Viewing on deck was crowded but we did see both killer whales and humpback. The guide told us she was getting us great pictures, so we did not bother to take any. Did not realize that they were selling the pictures we thought a download was included. The snacks and drinks on board are reasonably priced. Do not bother getting premium seating, no early boarding and you are on deck for watching.

We saw a family of of 4 Orcas that surfaced many times. A humpback whale came very close to the boat, asleep. The USB stick we got has 140photos by professional. It is the best whale watching tour! I love it.

An excellent whale watching experience

Excellent whale watching tour with a friendly staff and excellent views of the water. I learned a lot and also saw 2 types of whales, orca and a humpback whale. I also like that the staff takes photos of the whales that are spotted too.

Knowledgeable friendly...

Knowledgeable friendly staff, with a clean boat. Food and drink prices were reasonable and we saw both killer whales and a humpback!

Excellent experience! Saw orcas and humpbacks. Very good staff. Super attentive and accommodating to customers.

Highly recommend! Great time with my son seeing the natural beauty and marine life of the northwest. Everything I had hoped it would be.

North Worth It

Save your money! You won't see much, if anything, and they don't do refunds if you don't see anything. We saw one tiny little whale from about a mile away :-( and for about 10 seconds. Not worth the money or time! We were on the boat for 6 hours!

Humpback & Orcas, Oh My!

The Captain & crew were great! We were very pleased to have spent an hour with the Biggs Orca pod #120. Then down past Tacoma for a rare appearance from Malekai, a humpback! Bring a small pair of binoculars . The viewing platforms will be crowded and your cell phone cameras won't produce very watchable results. If you are lucky enough to see some excellent activities, buy the professional photographers shots.

Excellent excursion today! Saw killer whale pod T123 and Malachite the humpback whale. Trip was very smooth. Allison the naturalist provided great explanations!

Spent a little over $300 and 5 hours on the water to see a whale’s fin. Was told to reach out to the reservations team about vouchers for future but no one has responded. Overall experience was ok (nice boat, nice guide) but the added lack of response from the Clipper Vacations team re: our mediocre (and expensive) experience is the added disappointment that leads me to not recommending this to any friends or family.

I would highly recommend...

I would highly recommend taking something for motion sickness ahead of time. They do offer some on board, but it typically takes an hour for it to kick in, so the first hour was relatively uncomfortable. But otherwise great! They guarantee that you will see something, and we were able to see a humpback whale, a few porpoises, some harbor seals, and jellyfish!
