Thalia and the captain did an amazing job guiding us, and God provided some amazing opportunities to see whales during the tour. Thalia is a Marine Biologist who seems to have extensively studied whales and knows their behavior. We saw a lot of whale activity along the shore but the most remarkable time was going farther out where we had a large whale breach about 5 times in a row. Thalia was able to predict and call out when the whale was about to breach so we could get remarkable footage. It was nice that they also provided sandwiches, drinks (non-alcoholic) and snacks.

We saw an incredible 21 whales on our private tour and Thalia was an incredibly informative and caring guide. She taught my kids (8 and 10) about the whales and how to see them safely and respectfully. We had a great day on the water with Thalia and Angel - always seeking and teaching and I couldn’t recommend them any more highly. Stop your search and book this boat / tour. If there were more stars I’d give them.

This was such an amazing experience. Thalia is so incredibly knowledgeable about the marine life below the boat and was so kind to entertain my every question. The tour was personable and intimate. I felt safe the entire time. Angel is a great boat driver/captain and the ride was smooth and comfortable. It was a gorgeous day, we saw tons of whales and dolphins! I couldn’t recommend this team more. I had so much fun and learned a lot. Gracias Thalia and Angel!
