Fantastic staff. Great price, plenty of wildlife to see and so many whales. We were given loads of information by the crew onboard and felt so comfortable with them. What a fantastic once in a lifetime chance to see these beautiful animals up close. And then at the end of the day you can log in to see their daily blog and their professional photos which you can keep at no extra charge.

We booked a 4 hour tour in a semi-covered boat with Aly & Rodrigo. It was amazing! We observed a family of Orcas for over an hour and also saw sea lions and humpback whales. Both crew members, and especially Aly, were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the whales, even referring to the Orcas by name! Couldn’t have hoped for more

I just got back from the most amazing T party I will ever witness in my life. This was the most magical experience ever and I’ve been on several tours. To witness 2 pods interacting and playing and literally putting on a show out in the wild is a one of a kind experience. Thank you to Matt and Hailey, they were phenomenal hosts!
