BEST TRIP EVER ! - The crew were the best they helped in every way. We saw at least 25 whales and the trip was just over 2 1/2 hrs long. We will do it again and again!

The best experience on Marine life. - Hang Loose Boat Tours exceeded expectations for our whale watching excursion. The crew’s professionalism enhanced the experience, and we were thrilled to see numerous whales. Highly recommended for an awesome adventure on the water.

Great whale watching experience - We had a good crew, Bryce and he had an assistant with him which I can’t remember his name. A young man with a tattoo on his leg. He was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend them for a whale watching tour. We saw lots of dolphins and good whale views also. I fully enjoyed the tour!!!
