Q:
I'm looking to go in March, would I have a good chance of seeing a whale? Also, what kinds of whales/animals would I be able to see in March? Thanks!

In March you’ll see humpback and blue whales. There’s a chance of seeing grey and killer (orcas) whales. Porpoises, pelicans and other sea birds.

With any animals you can’t really predict the best place or time on any particular day to see them I would imagine but I feel like this company went above and beyond to make it a great experience. They even let the noon tour folks come on our 3:30 tour if they chose since they didn’t see any at noon that day. For the safety of the whales (and I believe legally) they can only get within a certain distance. Our guide got as close as he safely could and it was an amazing experience. We spent a lot of time watching 3 different whales. Best part of our whole trip by a long shot. Wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Q:
Do the boats have an enclosed area and what are the dimensions of the boats?
A:
Yes, they do have an enclosed area if you like to sit inside. I am not sure about the dimension but its a decent size boat accommodating at least 25-30 people.

Q:
We are looking at taking a tour early in July. The times available on the day we prefer are 11am and 2pm. Would there be a better chance of seeing whales at one time vs the other? Is there a difference in how choppy the water is? Thanks!
A:
I took the 11:00 cruise and we saw 4 whales. I think I read somewhere that it’s better to go earlier because the water gets choppy later. I’m not sure though but it wasn’t choppy at …

I took the 11:00 cruise and we saw 4 whales. I think I read somewhere that it’s better to go earlier because the water gets choppy later. I’m not sure though but it wasn’t choppy at all when we went. It’s a great thing to do. Have fun!!

Q:
Is it suitable for baby?
A:
I agree...not really suitable for baby. The weather will vary day to day as will the ocean waves. A toddler would have to be held because there's not much space to toddle around in and it …
