Great ride and whale tails - Being binoculars but we could see whales blowing and tails. We had a good time but due to weather was a rough return to marina! It was a great excursion! The crew was nice. Worth the money

Sunset Splendor - The crew was fabulous! My family and I had a great time and would definitely do this again! Seeing the sunset and being out on the water did not disappoint.

Recommend this beautiful trip - This was an “end of the whale season” trip. We didn’t expect to see whales, although the ESEADIVERS staff assured us we could take another free trip later if we didn’t see whales and wanted to try again. It was a gorgeous day and just being out on the water with beautiful views and the friendly staff and fellow sailors was wonderful. Surprisingly, we saw a huge pod of bottleneck dolphins swimming past our boat. Fabulous! The team of Kelsey, Isaiah, Clint and Captain Jim were knowledgeable and fun and super easy going and helpful. The chill music playlist really helped set the perfect tone for our trip. I’d recommend this trip. 😊

Never again - Went to the pick up point half an hour before the time stated on the ticket ( same as we did withe your the previous day ) and waited an hour only to find out we should have been there an hour before. There was never a direct email to us stating the earlier pick up time. . We will never book with you guys again
