Beautiful sights. Feels like you are inside the Mother nature. Informational. Quite a long ride, I have passed out on the way back due to lack of entertaining. Probably not the best tour to go with little kids.
Awesome trip! Capt had whale sighting communications thus we got to see a large swath of water/islands. Departed ~11am returned to dock after 5pm! Found out they only do 1 trip a day to provide a fun experience. They go where the whales are! I was lucky and got video of 2 Orcas when they swam up to the surface near boat. I'd advise bringing your own lunch even though they do sell snacks, microwavable stuff. All drinks are $1. Perfect trip for visitors and locals. Very friendly, knowledgeable crew members.
What a fantastic time out on the water! The captain and staff were friendly and informative. There was also a naturalist who answered all our questions and gave us much appreciated additional information. We saw a group of orcas, puffins, a sea lion, blue herons, and more. Can't wait to get back out there again!
We were a little hesitant in the beginning being that the boat isn't quite as big as some others offered, but I would take this boat again in a second! Very very accommodating and helpful! They go above and beyond the call of duty to explain what you are doing, what you are looking at, where to see it, and provide very nice binoculars with plenty of inside and outside space and all the extras you could ask for! I've only left one review ever, but after the absolutely incredible experience our family ( 8,14,42,55,57 yrs of age) all had I had to do this in hopes that other people will have the same great experience! We saw transient orcas eating and then cruised along side them while they raced at 15 mph to get to their family! Then got to stop and see a humpback whale on the way back! Very awesome experience!!! Do not hesitate to go out w these guys! We will be back again no question about it!
My family went on a cruise last Friday in the San Juan Islands. We saw a humpback whale and had a great experience! The deckhands were really attentive with showing us the maps keeping us posted if there were any sites to see. Will go back for sure.
Very professional and well run. Crew/staff are fun, friendly and experienced. Catamaran set up is fast comfortable and has ma y excellent view points from 3 levels and 4 sides.
The crew was friendly and the captain kept the passengers attention by speaking on the historical sites, the different whales, and islands. Food and drinks was available; nice size boat that held at least 30 people. We had a great time!
This is by far the BEST whale watching service. The staff is very knowledgeable, Amy answering the phone and returning calls very pleasant, helpful & prompt, the captain very good at pointing out not only
sea creatures, but historical sites along the way. Very enjoyable day!!
Not only were the prices just right the crew was very educated in all wild life that we saw. My family loved the experience and if we do another whale tour it will be with Mystic Sea characters.
Thank you guys for the great experience today.
Went on the tour that leaves from Langley and saw so many Gray whales! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Snacks were extremely affordable and complimentary binoculars were provided.
We had a great time watching the Gray whales and the crew made us feel very welcome.will use The Mystic Sea often from now on.
