The boat was nice, the people were great, especially the person who was the whale spotter. We saw lots of whales, some came real close to the boat. Even saw a few who breached close to the boat.

This was great fun! Easy to find, plenty of parking. While the water was a bit rough, the captain managed the boat very well!
