Whale of a Time!

We had an amazing time on our whale watching tour on September 1, 2026! Captain Krichelle, and Naturalists Crew Ash and Nate were fantastic! We saw a lot of spouts and some whales moving through the water - but we were able to experience about a dozen whales engaged in bubble net feeding! It is one thing to see it on tv but it was crazy to see it in person! We had no anxiety and felt very safe Captain Krichelle at the wheel. And Ash and Nate were super friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed to be just as excited as we were with the experience. The boat is newer, comfy, and clean - and the snacks were a bonus! Our bus guide, Dylan was super friendly and knowledgeable with laugh out loud commentary! This is a local, family tour group. We would not hesitate to book again!

Worth it … would do the trip with this company again.

This was a great experience. James, the Captain, and his crew put us on whales in short order. We had 10 or more sightings with one rising right next to the boat. The crew Ash & Claire did a great job teaching us what to look for and sharing whales characteristics. They knew the names of the whales by their tail fins and passed around a book where all of the whales are recorded. They were amazing. Thanks for the ride and the experience.

Three Whales Breaching!

This tour was for sure a once in a lifetime experience. Justin, Kacie and Griffin did a phenomenal job teaching us about humpback whales. We saw from 3-5 different whales and saw Barnacles breach with her baby! There were like three whales that breached one right after the other, literally off the bow of the boat! It was incredible. Our guides said that we might never ever see that again. They were in shock! 10/10!
