    Mark and Delaney were the best guides I could imagine. They gave us a great tour where we saw many dolphins, pelikans, seelions and also a very shy gray whale, which was very lucky. Mark even did some photos and videos with his drone, which he then send us via Airdrop for free! Thank you guys!

    While we didn't see whales on this trip the captain got us to a dolphin pod and the naturalist was knowledgeable and very kind. Seas were choppy and going all out was awesome. Even my athlete teenage daughter had a smile on her face when the trip was over.
