Had a beautiful afternoon out on the water watching an amazing array of wildlife. We got to see many whales along with two types of porpoises and sea lions. There were also a number of types of birds including great blue herons and cormorants. Captain Sean ran a tight ship with safety first and made the afternoon a memorable one. We had a wonderful time and would go again on our next visit. Thanks Sean for making our day so much fun.
We had a great time, despite the fact that we saw no whales or dolphins. Our main desire was to take a trip to see whales and dolphins as advertised but we didn't realize until we actually boarded the boat that the watching season was past and we most likely wouldn't see any. We wish the advertisement was more up front with that. If advertised as a sailboat ride, we still would have gone. The trip was very nice though and Happy Captain Greg was a great and fun guide. The accommodations were great and just a nice experience overall. The scenery was beautiful and Captain Greg was very knowledgeable on the sights and the area. We would recommend this to anyone.
Fantastic! We had a great sailor/tour guide, a cozy boat, good company, and lots of whale sightings. Highly recommended!
