An unforgettable experience! - Our travel guide, Codi was absolutely amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, and so much fun! We were able to see so many animals (sea lions, otters, eagles, porpoise, a humpback whale and a gray whale). It was an incredible experience we will never forget.

Capt Cody Rocks! - Capt Cody did a great job! She fouls sea lions, sea otters, eagles and the nests, and grey whales. She made sure our checklist was complete and provided great information along the way.

Awesome experience with a whale playing - Parker was awesome for us. He is very communicative prior to the trip and during the trip he listen to what we want to do and took us to areas to see the wildlife we were hoping to see. We ended up seeing two brown bears weigh in the distance but more importantly we saw a humpback whale who was playing and kept breaching. We all got pictures but Parker was able to use his long-range lens to get really awesome photos of the whale. He was then prompt in sending them to us. If you're looking for a family run outfit that is well run, check out Sipka Expeditions.

Whale Tour June 2025 - Captain Cody was enthusiastic and tried to accommodate so we could have the best experience but due to the time of year we did only see a few wildlife and a couple of whales from a distance. Unfortunately we could not take any photos as it is still early in the season and they are still travelling from Mexico and Hawaii and with the distance in place to protect the Whales Please keep this in mind, thanks you Captain Cody great experience.
