10/10 Experience

Thank you to our amazingly knowledgeable guides, Bailey & Logan, for the unforgettable experience! We saw so many dolphins, whales, seals & seabirds (including albatross) up close - truly a one of a kind experience.

10/10 will be back

Levi and Logan did a fantastic job both administrative and logistically. The trip was well run and we had a lot of fun. There were shy albatross and duskies on top of the resident fur seals. Will come back again!

Best day ever

What a magical experience. We were a small group, only 4 people, and we got so lucky. There were so many seals both on lands a d in the water, swimming meter away from us. Then, dolphins. That was unexpected, but there were so many of them, even swimming under our kayak and jumping. And to finish.. a whale. Could not have asked for more.
