The activity itself was fantastic and truly fulfilling! The whales were amazing—they came up frequently and were not shy at all about getting close to the boat. The host was incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and a true nature lover, sharing so many fascinating details about the whales. No matter where you were on the boat, there was always a perfect view, as the whales popped up from every direction. One of the most incredible moments was when I saw a whale come near the back of the boat and turn on its side, allowing me to see its belly! The entire boat went quiet every time the whales appeared or were about to, and you could even hear their breath through the blowhole. It was magical! That being said, there were a few logistical challenges. As a non-local, the communication about where to meet and how to get there was a bit stressful. I wasn’t aware they wanted us to arrive 15 minutes early, and the building where the tour was meeting was in a plaza with several tourist spots. While it clearly said “Whale Watching,” I was looking for “Elding Whale Watching,” so I wasn’t entirely sure I was in the right place; though that might seem obvious to most, when you're a tourist & rushing every detail seems critical. I arrived exactly on time according to the itinerary but later realized I should have arrived 15 mins earlier, so I felt a bit bad that I fumbled to ball there. However, they were very accommodating and ended up dropping me and two others off directly at the port where the boat was. Another thing I didn’t expect was the lack of information on how to get back from the port to the plaza. I had walked to the meeting point because it was close to my hotel, but there wasn’t any accommodation or clear instructions about getting back. I ended up walking 33 minutes from the port to my hotel, which wasn’t ideal in such temps (the view during my walk was inarguabley fantastic). These are just small details, though, and overall, I had an incredible time. I’m just mentioning them because, as a tourist, these little things can help make the experience even smoother and alleviate any miscommunication or confusion. Still, it was an amazing experience, and I’m so glad I did it!

Terrific trip, watched a humpback doing five or six dives over a period of about an hour. Would recommend

The boat was large with great viewing from all sides. Passengers have the option of staying above deck or going below for a little warmth. Our captain and guide were very knowledgeable about the habits and types of whales. Additionally, the offer of hot chocolate and coffee was a very nice touch

Absolutely incredible, the views and the experience are once in a lifetime, the staff were lovely and the facilities are great. Make sure to rap up as it can get very cold due the wind but it is definitely a trip you should think about doing.

Our guide, David, was knowledgeable about a lot of topics and willing to answer our questions. He and the captain went out of their way to ensure we “found” whales.
