We saw whales! - Whale watching is always a good time and this did not disappoint. We got up close and personal with two humpback whales and a minke whale. It was so nice to have warm suits provided. I generally recommend this as a first day activity as there is plenty of down time.

Minkes + Humpbacks! - We had a wonderful time on our whale watching excursion! Within five minutes, we saw Minke whales. We saw several more throughout the course of the trip, and also saw three Humpback whales as well as some harbor seals. We were thrilled with the whales and with Joe, the guide. One of the highlights of our trip for certain, would definitely recommend!

I went to the whale... - I went to the whale watching tour alone because i am solo traveling and i love whales. It was a fantastic expirience. The guide was very nice and funny and gave us all the information we need to know about the whales. We saw two humpbackwhales very near to the port and they came very close to the ship it was a magnificent expirience to see those animals so close. Thank you for a wonderful tour!

Brilliant tour with a great team who know their job. - Amazing 3 hours watching the Whale's. The team followed the Whales which we saw at least every 10 minutes or so. Running commentary through the whole trip about the surrounding area and sea life. Well done team. We loved it. Weather was so beautiful.

Comfortable boat, experience... - Comfortable boat, pleasant experience. We were offered monkeys so we wouldn't get cold during the activity. They tried very hard to get us to see some whale, and we managed to see several minkes. The boat wasn't moving at all, no one got dizzy.

Overrated and disappointing. - Folks save your money. This is an overpriced, very crowded tour of the bay chasing two small humpback whales. There were three other ‘tour’ boats out there also chasing them.
