"Thank you! This was our favorite whale trip (we've been on several). Everyone (the staff) was great. We felt very lucky to see the whales breaching and the baby put on quite a show. Obviously, this experience was great because the captain was so wonderful. Thank you. This made our trip a success.

"Eagles, Orcas, and Otters oh my! Puffins and sea birds that fill the eye. A Hump Back would've been fine but that was not to be. I'll have to bring my camera back another time to see."

Elliot Kornberg, MD

"Spectacular scenery - enjoyed the antics of the whales and captain Jack and Ginger's enthusiasm - Have been on numerous whale watching trips, but the two we've taken with you (today & 2001) were outstanding and we'd recommend you to every/anyone! ThanX!
