We used the Whale Watch center to take our whale watching trip and to visit their educational services. There are many options and I cannot say they are bad just that htis one is very good.

Very educational and fun boat ride to visit the whales who were just a few miles from shore. They put a microphone into the sea and we could listen to the whales singing!!!
