Excellent shop staff, the onboard biologist and the captain were great to us today. These people know what they're doing and placed us near to a group of different pods of Orcas having a tea party, or socializing as we know it. The open boat provided many opportunities to photograph the whales as they majestically frolicked close by. The boat was in the middle of at least a dozen Orcas all within easy camera range. Thank you "Rebecca", "Shy", and "Rodrigo". You have provide me with a great adventure! Thank you

Rebekah (our tour guide) and Rodrigo, (our captain) were absolutely amazing! We spotted 12 whales total and identified 6 in our boat! We saw sea lions and seals and got so much knowledge from Rebekah about these wonderful animals. They are AMAZING at what they do, we will never forget how awesome it was!
