I think the average whale watching tour would have been a good value and worth your time. We were lucky enough to get a much above average tour that we will never forget. The boat was new, spacious, and comfortable. Sea sickness on the 20-30 minute boat ride to where the whales were was never an issue even for my sensitive wife. I was not thrilled with the 7 am start time but was told that is unusual for this tour. Our guide Ashley (nick name bubbles tells how great she was) said they always see at least one or two whales per trip. We saw probably 15 at once! Quite a bit of the time there was 4-6 whales together 25 feet off the bow. After an hour of this amazement we finally went to see some sea lions on the navigation bouy who of course were super cute. We ended our trip with a surprise sighting of some Orcas! This tour will probably be the highlight of our vacation and a top memory of all vacations.
