I enjoyed all the information that was provided about the whales along the way. From their names to facts about whales and their behaviour while interacting with our boat. It was also nice that the tour got slightly extended to let the whales depart on their own. All in all it was a great experience!

The whale watching ended up delivering beyond our expecatations! The first hour was quiet, and we even passed by a distant humpback, being told that we were looking for orca pods that were reported farther away. We were then rewareded with several pods of orcas, swimming by, around, and at a few points, right by the boat! The guides taught us many interesting facts about orcas and knew the specific families we were seeing. We got iphone photos, but the pictures from the on board photographers were amazing! We did end up seeing the humpback again and getting to watch it spout and throw up it's tail. A really amazing experience!!
