Excellent experience, great and friendly knowledgeable staff. Felt very safe even one day after tsunami warning.This is the best crew! As the sightings are always beautiful and exciting, we just enjoy the excitement of being on the ocean, and the spectacular coastline of the Pacific. We will be back in October with our daughter. Don't hesitate to book with this company.

Could not have asked for a better crew. Dolphins right of the bat, humpbacks everywhere,even a Grey whale. Seas seemed to be a bit rough for many people but the crew handled it all with humor and patience. They took extraordinary care of my husband and did a great job of making sure those who weren't sick got to see whales and those who were miserable didn't have to deal with too much. I thoroughly enjoyed the seas...I love wave action and if I didn't live across the country, I'd be right back there. The added bonus of our naturalist singing is into dock was a lovely surprise. Cannot recommend them highly enough.I know my daughter and her fiancee, who lives in CA, are already talking about doing the orca trip one Thursday with them.
