Bucket list

This is one of my bucket list things to do. The guides were amazing, and we got to hear the whales under water and then they found us a momma and calf which folks don't get to see as often. We didn't get to see any come out of the water up close, but we get see some in the distance. It is something I would 10000% suggest someone doing and this company was the best!

Amazing experience, many whales, and nice guides

Absolutely stunning experience. We went out by boat mid April and were already expecting to not see whales as it was quite late in the season. Well, we saw 13 whales in total during the 2h tour, some of them even breaching. The guides were super friendly, and shared their knowledge about whales with us. 10/10 would definitely do again!

Incredible Whale Watching Experience

We had the most incredible experience seeing a whale calve breach the surface numerous times for almost an hour. Also saw the mother many times as well.
