The animals are a plus. They views on their own is worth the money. Easy check in process, I’ve already recommended it to friends/family

We didn’t see as much as we have in the past, but it is very early in the season. The staff was very nice. Lora, the captain was very knowledgeable, and Andrew was very accommodating.

The entire trip ,right from the start. The captain backed the boat out of a sardine birth. He was very engaging and knowledgeable about the whole area we were in. His boat handling skills are 2nd to none. The crew was courteous and professional. The fresh cookies were a very nice touch. All in all it was a very engaging experience. I look forward to going again. Thank you for a wonderful day. Stay safe and healthy.
