What makes this experience so amazing is that fact that you are guaranteed a whale sighting - Ian, your captain, has contacts all over the area and wouldn't take you out if he doesn't know where the whales are. He is also knowledgable and friendly. As well as whales, you may see seals, sea lions, eagles and other marine life.... more
this was a fun ride from start to finish, not all speed (some) but lots of wildlife to see and a good guide.
You will instantly recognize that Ian is a calm, very knowledgeable and highly experienced boat captain who is ready to provide his passengers with an amazing experience.

They performed every activity we have come to expect from killer whales, tail slapping, spyhopping and of...
