Whale watching

Une expérience inoubliable, un petit bateau, nous étions 13 ce jour là et cela été parfait ! Nous avons pris le dernier tour l’après-midi et pas déçu avec le sunset au retour :) Au début nous avons vu les baleines de loin car accompagné très souvent de bébé mais nous avons eu la chance à la fin d’en voir de près et la c’est un moment exceptionnel et le capitaine a eu la gentillesse de nous laisser du temps supplémentaire pour en profiter! Merci !

Super expérience

Très bonne expérience avec la Pacific Whale foundation. Tout le staff était adorable, on a pu voir pas mal de Humpback whales, on a aperçu une baleine franche australe, quelques dauphins et une tortue a même très rapidement montré le bout de son nez. Les explications de la naturaliste étaient aussi assez intéressants. Je recommande !

Notre capitain et equipage sont passioné de partager leurs connaissance des baleines à bosse, et nous apprécions votre soutien a Pacific Whale Foundation et notre mission de protéger nos océeans par la science et le plaidoyer!

Just love those whales!

Great "no frills" tour. We had our little dog on holidays and had to leave her at the unit so the shorter 3 hour cruise was perfect for us. The boat was comfortable, the staff could not be friendlier, and the knowledge they shared was informative and entertaining. Highly recommended and will definitely go again. The added bonus is that the money goes toward whale research and not into someone's pockets!
