Loved the beautiful views of the Opera House and bridge as we headed out. Saw quite a few whales and guide did a good job pointing them out for us. On the way out there, we sat on the top deck in the back and were unable to hear what the guide said even though there was a speaker. Very fun trip overall!

Absolutely wonderful! Saw 4-5 whales after about 40 mins of starting the tour. The tour guides were fantastic, knowledgeable and super careful around the whales. The whales, as a result, came up soo close to the boat and it was just a wonderful experience! Waters can be choppy, so best to take sea sickness tablets, if you suffer from sickness, however the deckhand's are so caring and helpful with any issues.
