					  My Husband and I had the pleasure to go out whale watching this past July. We were treated to seeing more than 20 Orcas and 4 Humpbacks during our 3… read more hour tour. It was great having the assistant tell us all about the whales we were seeing. We learned so much during the time we were out on the water.

The owner took all Covid Protocols to make our trip safe and very enjoyable.
