“We saw so many whales!! 4 different Orca groups and several Humpback whales, too many to keep track of. Outstanding time on the zodiac, so fun being on the water like that to view the amazing marine life. We learned so much from the guide about the whales and their unique situations in relation to people and resources. It is all so very interesting and makes you want to steward the natural resources so much better. Thank you for the education, advocacy, and amazing tour! We would go again in a heartbeat! Thank you!”
