Mom and calf! - This was an incredible tour. The seas were rough and we were offered another day, but we went and it was simply amazing. We went out and ending up spending time watching a mom and calf show off their tails as well as a couple of breeches! The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable, too! Highly recommend!

Best in the business - Best in the business! Always an amazing time with Blake and the crew. Gone on multiple trips on mult boats. Always great. Highly recommend the smaller boats for adventurous people wanting to get closer to the water.

The best morning ever! - Ocean Extreme were amazing, we had the best morning ever seeing humpback whales at the beginning of their migration. The team were really knowledgeable and friendly and the boat ride was really fun! We saw quite a few whales and it's only week 1 of the migration, we were super lucky and absolutely thrilled! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! 😁

Eco-friendly whale-watching fun on a smaller boat - Nice to be on a smaller, comfortable boat and the jackets provided were great for keeping the wind out - it can be chilly out there even on a warm day! Saw plenty of whales, including breaches, and the staff on the boat shared plenty of information about these majestic creatures while respecting the whales' space. Beautiful afternoon on the water
