GUEST TESTIMONIALS

Did the whale watching tour October 2022 in the uncovered boat with Mark as our guide. Mark was AMAZING! His knowledge of the wildlife and area provided for a very informative experience. We were able to see gray whales and he told us a bit about each one we saw. Also on the tour were otters, seals and so many birds. Beyond the wildlife, the scenery is gorgeous. Mark is also an excellent boat skipper and was able to keep us from getting seasick in some pretty good swells. The suits provided kept us very warm. Highly highly recommend!
