What an AMAZING experience!! Went on a bigger boat yesterday, and our experience today was well worth extra money. So close to the water, so peaceful and personal. Jeff even went out of his way to find the Orcas!! We saw dolphins, a whale, and orcas! And had a high speed boat ride to really top off the fun! Unforgettable experience!! Highly recommend this experience over the others!

Highly recommend checking out Offshore Blue Adventures for a chance to head out on th…

We were very thankful they all…

They shared interesting information about the wildlife and made the whole experience enjoyable. You c…

I highly recommend this company, and I’m so glad I booked my tour with them! Unfortunately, we didn't spot any whales or dolphins—which was a bit of a letdown—but we did see orcas. Unlike the large, slow tourist boats, these small speedboats are incredibly fast, allowing you to cover a lot of ground and just have a blast riding the waves. I’d suggest bringing a warm sweater along with waterproof pants and a jacket—yo…
