We went on a 4 hour whale watching trip with captain Matt and it was wonderful. The whales were hiding from us that day but captain Matt made sure we had a great time nonetheless! We had 3 kids with us and we stoped several time to catch fish, saw dozens of sea lions and fed them! The boat was very comfortable with seating out side and inside out of the wind and sun. 10/10 would recommend and do again. Thank you captain Matt
Thank you Deanna! Hope to see you all again sometime 👍🐋
