The zodiac ride was a lot of fun, and the driver / guide was great. We found a couple of Orcas and he started spilling information as if he was talking about old friends. It was really cool to learn about them. The company was well managed and very organized. Booking process was very easy and the day - before informational call was really helpful.

It was awesome. Totally worth it especially when we saw the sea lions. Our guide was very knowledgeable about where and how to find the whales. I would highly recommend grabbing the gloves and hat they provide because the wind makes it cold.
