We thoroughly enjoyed our whale watching trip. We saw porpoises, minke whales, Belugas and Fin whales. It was great. We really liked the fact that the guide also was really excited every time something was spotted, even though she must do this trip all the time!

We had a great time on the water. We were fortunate in that the weather was good, the water was calm, and we did get to see whales - all things that are beyond anyone’s control. But I can also say that the boat was very comfortable, the staff helpful and professional and the guide very knowledgeable!
