Wonderful morning on the water! - The Whale Watching Cruise was so much fun! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable, and we saw several humpback whales and a bunch of puffins. Highly recommend!

Great views - We saw a number of dolphins and several whales. This tour gave you the option of sitting inside in a bar as well as on multiple levels of a yacht. We sat at the top. This gave us the opportunity to see so much more wildlife. The crew was informative and very good about telling us when to look out.

Nice boat ride to see the bay - Enjoyed the boat ride out on the bay. Had no expectations we'd actually see a whale, which we didn't. But it was still a nice boat ride.

Enjoyable but the website and boarding need clarification. - We arrived at the Harbor House an hour early. Scanned our QR code and received the boarding pass as directed. We could see the ship shown on the Viator website moored on a nearby dock, and assumed someone would let us know when to board. When that didn’t happen, we checked with the staff at the Harbor House and was told we would be on a different ship on the far end of the dock - and it was about to leave. We literally ran to the ship and barely made it! Once on board, the trip was enjoyable. The waters were calm and we saw several humpback whales. I would recommend the trip, but the website needs to correct the image of the ship and clarify the boarding procedure.

Bad Weather Caused Three Days of Cancellation - This is not a complaint against the company. It was a terrible experience because bad weather led to cancellation on three successive days.
