Your 3-hour cruise is limited to 22 people, on a 55 ft vessel, which allows for great viewing opportunities without the crowds. Have the chance to see whales frolicking in their natural habitat, and look for dolphins as well. The informative and friendly crew shares in-depth knowledge on the marine life of the region that you get to see first hand.

Absolutely phenomenal experience. So much better than any other whale watching boat I have ever been on. There was no struggling to see past others. We made some fantastic memories this weekend thank you crew.

Great crew

Published on Aug, 2024

Crew were great and used comedy well in there induction talk. Unfortunately there just weren’t many whales around on our trip. Oh well you can’t make them show up

Amazing experience

Published on Aug, 2024

We loved the experience! The boat is very comfortable and the group is small so you don’t have to fight with anyone to see the whales. Everyone has a great view. The crew is amazing, creating a great atmosphere and giving plenty information. We saw the whales playing for almost every second of the tour. The crew let us spent plenty of time with them without watching the time and rushing! At the end we even got some snacks and drinks.
