Super nice outing. - I loved it, the whales are really close (DE a respectful way) plus you visit the bow and you can see sea lions.

Wonderful experience!! - Oh goodness, where do I start… our tour guide’s name was Shaggy. He was phenomenal. I can’t recall the other two people who were involved but they were excellent also. The views were amazing on the entire excursion. We started off going over to the famous arch, and Shaggy shared several tidbits of history and information about the arch and surrounding area. The snorkeling site was great- we saw several varieties of tropical fish and we even saw a stingray! I did not know kayaking was also included, which was a welcome surprise. It was a wonderfully relaxing time on the water. As we were heading back, we happened to see a few humpback whales breaching on the water. This was an unexpected pleasure, because the whales normally leave the area to head back to Alaska mid- April. When the tour concluded, we went back to the docks, where Vicki made us fresh quesadillas complete with homemade salsa and hibiscus water. All around an amazing way to spend the day! Highly recommend Shaggy and their team. We will definitely be back!

This event can turn a stark coastline into a beautiful adventure. - Our guide, Adrian made this trip pure fun. The boat ride would have been exciting in itself, but we had fantastic luck with the whales. At one point five humpback males were trying to impress one female who popped up not thirty feet from us. If we hadn’t pulled back Adrian said we would have been guacamole!
