Loved it! We had a great time, saw plenty of whales and even dolphins!
We had a wheelchair and they were very accommodating. Provided us with window seats and took us to the back of the boat and turned it so we had full view of the whales. They kept checking in and helped us get on and off the boat. Very lovely and helpful. They spoke about the whales history, life and about ways to contribute and take care of them in the future. It was educational and we had a lovely time.
The Captains VIP entry was definitely worth the extra $.
Our host/crew member Dani was very hospitable and very knowledgeable. She was always happy to answer all questions. Captain Kim was very informative and made sure we found whales! We were very lucky to find a newly born calf and its big mumma who didn’t mind coming in close to our boat. A beautiful experience!

Second week in a row, whales everywhere, as soon as we got through the seaway. Magnificent cruise again. Thank you Captain Pedro and team. I had another awesome trip.
Oh my goodness, what a spectacular day for whale watching. Captain Pedro and the crew on the 10am cruise today did an outstanding job, finding and following the whales. We saw, adult whales, juvenile whales and dolphins. Breaching, slapping and rolls. Keep up the awesome work team.
