So much fun! - We saw 6 humpback whales. The crew was great. Had an awesome time. Be sure you have a hoodie and rain jacket as it gets a little cool out there on the water and there's spray from the water. Don't recommend wearing shorts, dresses or flip flops deck gets wet. We did all of the above and were quite comfortable. But there were many that didn't and were miserable. Enjoy...great experience

Seven seas whale watch - The whale watch was amazing. It was a beautiful sunny day on the ocean. We saw four adult humpback whales as well as a mama and her calf. We did see a sunfish and a basking shark, as well as a thin tail whale.. very informative and affordable less than the other competitors, the boat also wasn’t extremely packed like the others we saw!! We would definitely book again and recommend it four stars

Whale watching with small children. - We had a great trip. We took our kids 15, 12, 6, 4, 2, and 6 months. The boat was very comfortable. On the way out to see the whales they were able to sit at the table. There were snacks available for purchase. We also brought some snacks. It was a very comfortable boat ride. The best part was the crew. Outstanding crew. They made our day and we got to see 6 fin whales and a humpback. One of the highlights of our trip.

A definite MUST DO! - Everybody who works on board was friendly, knowledgeable, and really wanted to make sure that we saw whales. This is the second whale tour that I’ve taken this week – the first one we did not see any whales and this one we saw at least three humpback whales, many different times and a couple of minke whales.

A Whale of An Experience! - This was such a great experience. From check-in to disembarking the boat, we felt welcome. Everything was smoothly run and passion for what they do radiated off of every 7 Seas team member. The naturalist on board was a wonderful guide, full of insights and interesting tidbits of knowledge. She graciously visited with each guest on board at some point during the tour. The whole crew clearly knows what they are doing because we saw so many whales! Two different species plus a shark! The whales were surfacing alongside the boat and the captain deftly navigated so all on board would get a close up view! Highly recommend and well worth the money spent!
