"First Class Crew"

Beautiful day, scenic surroundings and being with family…what more could you ask for? A fantastic crew of course! This includes the crew on the boat and also in the store and ticket office. Each person made sure that we had a ‘whale of a time’ as they say. Although we didn’t see any large whales on our trip, the captain made sure that we saw some marine life. We were treated by seeing a pod of bottlenose dolphins who were putting on a fun filled show for us! Due to no whale sightings, each guest received a Whale Check for a future Tuesday whale watch. Can’t wait to go back!

We didn’t see any whales, but we had a great time watching dolphins putting on an acrobatic show with high jumps and flips! The crew was great, and we’re planning to go back this winter when the grey whales are around.

The Captain went out of her way to get the many dolphins to play with the boat and it's wake which all of us appreciated.
