We LOVED this tour
Asisa_B, August 2026
We had a memorable experience. We were guided by a marine biologist who was so informative as well as friendly. We saw some humpback whales up close, it was awesome. What an unforgettable experience.

Whale watching excursion
Quest263261, July 2026
This trip was excellent ! I highly recommend this excursion. The tour guide/marine biologist was great ! She loved us asking questions and she clearly explained everything. The captain got as close as he could to the whales and was awesome being that close. Life jackets were supplied also which made me feel safe. The boat was clean and was sturdy looking compared to other boats I saw passing by us. And it was easy to book our reservations and directions were clear. 👍😊

Don_D, May 2026
We saw so many whales and were among so many swimming and surfacing. Lots of big bearches ahead of the ship as well. It was very exciting. Our guide was a very knowledgeable (a type of marine biologist i think)

Great tour. It’s nice to sit back and relax while the tour guide takes care of the pictures. This was my second time with the same tour and it was just as great. You learn lots and feel safe. Great for all groups and all ages.
