Had an incredible and magical day whale watching with Cameron Ocean Adventures last weekend — honestly, still buzzing thinking about it. The boat ride itself was super enjoyable — we saw sea lions and went around some of the Broken Group Islands. And then we saw *the whale*. At first we were all just thrilled seeing it come up for air and swimming around — and then out of nowhere it did a big jump in front of our boat, and also some big tail flaps (5-6 times). It was absolutely breathtaking. It’s easy for me to recommend Cameron for whale watching — the boat is a bit smaller (I’ve been on other whale watching tours where the boat is bigger and packed with many people) so it is more intimate and you can walk around (never feels crowded) and switch up your vantage point. There were 6 of us on the boat that day. The crew members on board were super knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife (thanks for answering all my questions!) and I was also happy to learn about the indigenous names of islands and mountains. On our way back, the boat also stopped to get some debris/garbage out of the ocean that was floating. It’s clear that the team has a deep respect for community and territory and take great care to offer a great experience for guests — I was so happy to be guided by them. I hope to go out with them again — the experience was absolutely incredible and I felt in such good hands!
