They did a great job letting us know when the whales were sighted. They were very friendly talking with us and the other people were very nice too.
No whales but a great time!

Boat was clean, people were friendly beautiful views to see but no whales! I guess it’s too early in the season

Captain and crew were friendly and awesome. Second time going out with them and they have made the tours wonderful. We were able to catch a couple of whales. It was a great time.
A no go. Weather was too windy.
William_B, Jan 2024
The cruise was cancelled. I showed up but no one was there. So I called and was told a few minutes later that it was cancelled. I never got an email nor a phone call before I went to the pier. I left the area and went back to the hotel.

Crew was great. Friendly and always on the lookout for whales. Food on the trip was good. We caught a couple whales breaching. Incredible sight to see.
Whale tale awesome experience
Dan_F, Feb 2023
We had expectations of seeing whales and did we ever ! Although the captain stayed a distance from the whales, a mother and calf swam very close for viewing. We also saw other pods and some whales breached the surface exposing their tale. It was awesome.
Switched cruise and still very good
Kirstie_S, Jan 2023
The activity had to get moved two different times, but that didn’t honestly matter that much. We ended up going on the whale watching breakfast cruise. Jaedyn made this an activity to remember. Super helpful crew and overall had a blast. The food was really good. It doesn’t matter if you get the French toast or the loco moco

Terrye_S, Dec 2022
The trip was good and the food was better than good. The waitress was super friendly and attentive to everyone’s needs. My only complaint would be that we didn’t see any whales, so that was disappointing. Even with that I would do this again.
