The whale watching cruise from Bellingham was fantastic. We got to see seals and then orcas feeding. Lots of really interesting input from the naturalist who accompanied us. Everyone on the staff, including the folks who helped us book the trip, were super helpful and friendly. Will do it again!

Did the lunch cruise today, and it was awesome. Saw a family of 5 orcas feeding and swimming around, watched them for at least an hour.
the food was good, the staff was great and I learned a ton.
