Good size boat, we got to see lots of whales! No live commentary though.

The staff we every friendly and all seats on the boat had good views. There were coats provided which we didn't know about. There wasn't a live commentary as advertised which wasn't the end of the world but would have been nice. We ended up seeing lots of whales which made out day.

Absolutely wonderful! Saw 4-5 whales after about 40 mins of starting the tour. The tour guides were fantastic, knowledgeable and super careful around the whales.

Loved the beautiful views of the Opera House and bridge as we headed out. Saw quite a few whales and guide did a good job pointing them out for us. On the way out there, we sat on the top deck in the back and were unable to hear what the guide said even though there was a speaker. Very fun trip overall!
