Awesome subsurface tour! - Awesome locally owned business that shows you some amazing things below the surface of the ocean. Captain was super friendly and told us a lot of facts about the locations of the tour! Would highly recommend for a quick morning attraction!

Chill, fun vibes - Ian and Stone were the captains for our tour and they brought the vibes. They had seen some whales while out on the tour before ours and knew exactly where to get us to see them for ourselves. Did not disappoint! I think there were 4 whales and we saw them multiple times moving around. It was so fun, especially for our kids (11 & 12) to see them for the first time. Music was great, Ian and Stone were fun, plus it was just a chill ride and a laid back way to see the island. Definitely recommend this one. (Bring a couple drinks to enjoy since it’s BYOB)
