Testimonials
“Great company! We loved the trip and saw 4 humpback whales, harbor porpoises, and others. The naturalist on board was excellent - very informative. Highly recommend this company.
We then went back another day for the lighthouse tour which was also outstanding.”

“We went on the lighthouse tour and it was wonderful! The guide did a fabulous job informing us about lighthouses, history of the area and alerting us to wildlife. Highly recommend this tour!”

“This experience was beyond belief. You watch commercials on TV showing people waiting to see whales and missing their opportunity cause they looked away for a second.
Well, we had views of Humpbacks that lasted for an hour or more. Our boat turned so everyone had their opportunity. The naturalist/guide was outstanding. An Encyclopedia of information. EXCELLENT!!”

“My wife and I had the best time on the sunset nature cruise! So much wildlife ... a bald eagle ... seals ... so many birds. The boat is so comfortable and the scenery is stunning. Such a fun evening with a spectacular sunset to cap it off. And ... I want to give a shout-out to the staff.
When I paid at the ticket booth, I left my tripod on the counter. An hour later, we boarded the boat and I mentioned my missing tripod. The crew called down the street to the ticket booth ... they got my tripod and brought it to me on the boat. Thank you! Well done all the way around!”
