The whole experience was wonderful. The captain and staff were fantastic. We saw quite a few whales. We had a seat on the top deck, a 360 degree view. Going again next month. Would recommend it highly to everyone.

It was amazing and the crew were great with explaining things and pointing out where the whales were when we found them. It was pretty rough out on the water, which we did get a message before hand about and were also asked if we still wanted to go out, of course I said yes because it was my birthday and I was hoping to see whales, which we did. My son did great for half the trip but sickness got the better of him even after after a sea sickness pill and have the band on as well. But was a great day out and will be doing again soon
