2hr whale watch - Seamless transition from check-in area to the raft. Waiver needs to be complete before tour start so arrive 10-15 mins early to get that sorted out. From dock to whale watching, it took about 15-20 mins until we saw whales and then it just kept going. It was fun and expect to get wet a little from waves/splashing. Check the tide reports and take Dramamine if you have a feeling you may get sick. Overall, a great experience and will definitely do again!

We had a wonderful time!... - We had a wonderful time! The tour was very relaxed and the smaller boat was so close to the water. We saw several mom and baby whale pairs and hearing the whale song was incredible.
