Delight in this two-hour guided journey on a dual-deck power catamaran and observe the magnificent whales in their natural surroundings. The whales’ conduct during your excursion could allow you to witness various activities such as the whales striking the water surface with their extensive side fins known as pectoral fins, with their tail or ‘flukes’, the peduncle that is the muscle connecting the tail to the body, and the spectacular ‘breach’ where the whale thoroughly surfaces out of water and crashes back into it.

Great whale watching cruise - Had a wonderful time on whale watching cruise. Saw mom and calf, several whales breaching (partial and full), and one whale slapping its tail multiple times. Lots of whale spouts too. Captain was very knowledgable, and crew was very helpful

Really enjoyable - Excursion was fun and went very smoothly. Easy to find meet up place and we left in time. Soda and water was complimentary. We saw a lot of mama and baby whales together and even saw a bit of tension between two male whales over a female with lots of tail splashing and asserting of dominance while still giving them good distance. Weather was perfect and ride was smooth. Staff was so sweet and friendly. The whale facts were interesting too. The only thing I didn’t really like was how they recommended $20 gratuity per couple and we got like one soda & a plain coffee so I felt that was a steep tip. Otherwise def recommend these guys!

Great trip. Lots of whales - Very pleasant trips. Saw lots of whales. Captain knew a lot about the humpback. Crew was very nice all around! Only 1 complaint: design of the ship made getting a “good” seat a challenge. Largest part of the seating area was inside. People were aggressively jostling for a spot they thought was a good view. Outside and on top deck. In reality the ship moved around a lot and whales were all around us. . But If everyone would have just been nice to each other and shared their view so to speak, could have been better. Nature of people these days… maybe Captain could mention “share the view” concept…. But he shouldn’t have to. And certainly not his fault.
