We booked this on a whim, looking for things to do on a spring break vacation. It was a great choice! We were lucky to have a sunny, calm April morning. The boat is beautiful and spacious, and you can move freely once out of the marina. We saw countless sea lions and dolphins (some jumping right alongside the boat) and three or four instances of humpback whales! Plentiful fish made for great feeding conditions, apparently. Communication from the company ahead of time was good. Good to know: you will have to walk down a short hill and then a long dock, plus up/down a short portable ladder onto the boat, so keep this in mind if you have limited mobility. Also, there were several passengers who got seasick, even on that nice day (staff are prepared, but I strongly suggest standing and facing the horizon during the trip if you can)! Great value for the price, for sure.
