the trip was great fun for our group. the waters were a little ruff, so that did result in a little motion sickness for some. when they recommend taking something to prevent motion sickness, please listen and do it the trip would have been much more enjoyable. the ship and the crew were great and the naturalist was very knowledgeable and fun.

Great boat. Easy to see from. Well-maintained and clean. Excellent, enthusiastic guide. I didn't feel like I was being rushed. The crew was doing their best to give us what we paid for, and we got it. Would like to see more current online info regarding recent sightings, and which time(s) of the year make for the best experience.

My family took this trip the day after our son's wedding and had a great time. It was a good addition to our reunion weekend. Even the bride and groom joined us!! We saw a baby humpback whale breaching to its heart's content. Even with the choppy seas that day we had a great time and would take this trip again.

I purchased my tickets a couple of days in advance for the 4:30pm trip. Apparently this trip gets cancelled frequently because of "weather" or beacuse less people book it. I showed up (it was a 2 hour drive) and it wasn't cancelled. I never got a call nor was I warned when I booked it or I probably would have booked a different time. I would have appreciated some friendliness or consideration in this matter. They didn't seem to care.

We had a wonderful time and didn't get seasick because we used the wristbands that work on accupressure points. Saw some whales, sea otters and different birds. Will definitely go again.

Too short whale observation
Mon, Aug 13, 07   10:00 AM skirmantas Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
In booklet it says that a trip would take 2.5 -3 h. It took slightly less than 2.5 h and I was disappointed that after finding a whale we have spend only around 15 - 20 min (from which actually you see a whale on the surface for around 3-4 min) watching it. The guide said that we are going to look for other whales, but we went straight to the harbor. If we would have spend 30 - 45 min with whale I would be much happier
