I went out on the early tour with some friends and had an amazing whale watch. Captain Darryll and Silas were fantastic guides. They found many whales for us to enjoy. We saw peduncle throws, a spy hop, breaches, and many other whale behaviors. Darryll was great at positioning the boat so everyone had a great view of the whales. Silas is a top notch naturalist, explaining the whales' actions and giving us great information about them. I learned about "Whale Snarge." My friends and I had a blast. The boat is comfortable, with plenty of seating and shade, even with a full crowd. Two hours is the perfect amount of time, although I wish we could have stayed out longer to see more. We even found a bottlenose dolphin!

I have been on quite a few whale/dolphin watches (Alaska, California, Hawaii more than once) and this was by far the best experience I’ve had. They were respectful of the whale activity, knowledgeable about their behavior and very accommodating and fun. Cap’t Henore created the best experience ever. We were on the boat for 2.5 hours and were with the whales for 2 hours. They were around us, under us, 2 feet away, everywhere. Just incredible. Words cannot describe.

Captain Darryll and Nicole did such a good job. Our experience was amazing. We saw many whales around us, took great pictures and really enjoyed our time. Nicole took a video under water of a whale swimming right near our boat and shared with all group. Two hours went by so fast.

Captain Henore, Bree, and Sam were amazing!! They were extremely knowledge about the history/ life of the whale as well as other ocean fish and could answer all of our questions!
