Lots of whales today - As advertised, they brought us to the whales! The cool part of this adventure was listening to the whale "songs" after they dropped the mic under water. They said the mic could pick up whale sounds about 1 mile out. I've been on many whale tours. Hearing them sing was extra special. The "whale expert" seemed to know his stuff (as I compared it to previous trips). 1.5 hours really didn't seem like enough time by the time we got to a whale populate area.
The crew on the beach and on the boat were friendly and accomdating.

A day with whales - The crew was wonderful and very informative about whales in the area and where to find them. The numbers we saw and the show of breaching and fins and flukes in the air was absolutely incredible!

Amazing Day - This was a great experience on a nice boat with a fun crew. We saw lots of whales and heard them singing as they have a mic they drop into the water. I do want to mention that the boat is not at a dock or pier. You board from the beach a smaller boat that takes you to the catamaran. Very well organized and safe but good to know if traveling with someone with limited mobility.

A wonderful Whale Experience - We were fortunate on this trip to see many whales that came up fairly close to our boat after we had stopped the engine . Two whales actually swam underneath and came up right by the stern. It was quite amazing seeing the whales so close ! Other whales surfaced 20 or 30 yards from the catamaran. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about whales and their behavior. We could hear the whales underneath our boat. The boat captain was able to get us out where the whales were. There were probably 15 whales that we saw on this trip . The captain believes in the greater A bay area there are probably 80 whales this season . The snacks were wonderful and the crew was very helpful. I highly recommend this group.
