| The 3 hour boat ride was fun, although very cold and wet. It is exhilarating to be out on the water, especially when the boat is moving fast. We did not see any whales and had only one brief glimpse of dolphins on the way back to the dock. Many of the passengers were sea sick, which is not attractive to watch, and there were no restrooms on the boat. All in all, if you come prepared (hat, gloves and a warm, water resistant jacket, take your sea-sickness medicine and make sure to use the restroom before boarding) it is a lot of fun. |

| The only problem was there wasn't a speaking inside the cabin. It was a little too chilly to stay outside while we were in transit, so it wasn't possible to hear the narration for the tour.
Other than that it was fantastic. We even turned around to get a nice view of some dolphins, which was totally unexpected!
The narration, when we could hear it, was top notch, and we had a blast. I would highly suggest that everyone that wants to learn about marine life and see some of it, take the tour. |

| My grandson and I really had a great time on the whale watching tour. We saw two large whales and a baby. The tour guide was knowleagable and she made sure that we had the opportunity to see the whales as close up as possible.
We were so excited! I would go again. |

| The vessel was quite stable and comfortable. We saw lots of whales and our guide, Catherine (?), was very informed about cetaceans, their diets, habitat and habits. I believe she is a graduate student in marine biology student. Equally important was the fact that she was absolutely hilarious.
Our friend from Oklahoma described this trip as "a terrific experience!" We agree. My wife and I have been on other whale-watching trips and this was the best. |

| Most of our group got seasick, and the crew members were thoughtful and a lot of help. Beside that it was great fun. We did not see any whales but we did see lots of otters and dolphins. |

| We did not see any whales on our tour. We did see sea lions, lots of birds and some dolphins. Staff was very informative about the various types of creatures.
Heed the warning about the temp difference on the water! It was COLD when we went out. We were okay, but many people had shorts and t shirts on and they froze for 2.5 hours. |

| I didn't know what to expect, but it was enjoyable. Lots of good info from leader. We saw humpbacks and dolphins, but nothing extraordinary. It was my first whale watch, despite being from the East coast. We all enjoyed it. |

| We took a morning trip and thorougly enjoyed our enthusiastic biologist hostess.
We saw bunches of dolphins and a small group of humpbacks. One jumped completely out of the water.
Otherwise, the trip was pretty average. Long trip in and back with not much action. But the enthusiastic love for the animals and the special site of the jumping whale made it all worthwhile. |
