Port Renfrew is a special place to see humpback whales. The captain of the zodiac is really passionate, he knows a lot about these creatures. He knows how and where to look for them. It could get cold, especially as you go through the fog when there is, the waters of the Strait and the Oceao can be rough. However, the zodiac is very comfortable. Experience I will never forget, thank you!
