We were lucky enough to find 2 huge humpback whales and spent almost 2 hours floating near them. It's important to note that not all tours see whales. They told us that the morning sightseeing tour that day did not locate any.

You have to be patient and wait for the whales to surface. They can hold their breath any where from 3-10 minutes. The best part of the trip was at the end when we seen a mega pod of dolphins! Absolutely incredible!!!

The tour was wonderful and exciting. The only negative thing I have to say is regarding the online booking process. There is no phone number in case of cancellations or changing booking. Going through support is very frustrating since there is a day delay for responses.

We had a wonderful time! Our grandchildren really loved it! Thank you for making it such an easy experience. We will use Viator in the future. We saw lots of whales and dolphins. Thank you again!

A great experience!! Unluckily you can only see easily some parts of the whales, they don't always come out with the face! And then, seasickness at the end!!

It was a very enjoyable trip. Unfortunately we didn't see any whales, but were given a coupon to go back for another cruise. Nice thought but we live to far away. But we enjoyed the cruise, the staff was very nice and it was a beautiful day. We did see lots of dolphins and seals.

I enjoyed the whale watching expedition very much. I would rate this absolutely fantastic except that it was much colder than I expected. I purchased a sweatshirt before I got on the cruise because I checked with the naturalists and she told me it would be cold. Also, the ship was out of most sizes of shirts. I luckily found this out from the ticket sales person, since it was the end of the season. I purchased a hat on the ship too and that helped but gloves would have been good too. Of course, I had to sit outside the entire time at the front of the ship so that I wouldn't miss a thing! But that's just me. I saw four small whales. I appreciated the pricing of purchasing the ticket in advance.

Looked like we were on the best boat as the one next to us from another company kept rocking back and forth - so much so I thought surely people were about to fall out!

We had a good day for being out on the water. We did not get to see any whales, but saw dolphins and sea lions, so it wasn't a total loss, and we got a rain check to come back since we didn't see any whales.
