Boat tour was on time and staff was very informative. We followed some humpback whales and got some good views. The boat ride was comfortable and not over-crowded. Weather was sunny with clear skies. I was very impressed with all aspects of this beautiful tour. A highlight of our family visit.

We were taken to one spot where one Orca was swimming and spent more than a hour there to see his black fin occasionally. The boat was large and comfortable and plenty of room but I think we could have spent more time looking for a pod rather than focus that much effort on one whale

Wonderful guides and captain. Very informative. The boat is big enough that it goes smooth, and you do not get sea sick that easily. But small enough to get space to view the beautiful islands and the marine life without a huge crowd. And a good chance to see orcas in this area of course!
