Rough Seas, don't eat before, Whales were incredib

By the time we got to the pier we were starving, so ate some of the great food on the pier. Big Mistake and no one told us not to eat. I'd say at least 1/4 of the people got sick 1/2 were struggling to not chum into the sea. The staff was great about cleaning up the mess, but really should have headed back early. We went in April when the Gray and humpbacks were all over the place. Over a dozen spouts at a time. Rather amazing. A juvenile start slapping it's tail on the ocean surface for 5 minutes at time. What a rare experience. Just too bad we were sooo sick.

We had a nice tour and saw some impressive whales very close. The skipper has brought us very close, so we rally saw them very detailed, not only as black spot on the horizon. Follow the recommendation of the crew. Take a Jacket, don't forget the sun-blocker (even the sky is cloudy you might get a red face). And do not do this tour if you get see-sick. Summary: 2.5 hours worse it.

We had great time and saw may blue whales and humpback whales. The wind was rough and cold but we came prepared with glove, layers, earmuffs. Definitely glad we took our motion sickness meds as many people did not and then they suffered..yuck! We had a very enjoyable time and would recommend it to others as long as they come prepared.

Our trip was amazing....we were so lucky to see Blue Whales not long after we ventured out and the Humpback Whales were really active.....got to see so many. We even got to see a shark which I was thinking, " Please don't let me fall overboard ". The crew were great. Just make sure you dress in layers to accommodate for the temp changes. Great time was had by all!!!!
