AMAZING. BOOK NOW!

I cannot recommend this whale watching trip enough. We booked this as a last minute decision and it made our whole trip.

Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Company & Crew!

We chose Deer Harbor Charters due to them being a family owned, and conservation forward company! We were greeted with warm smiles when checking in. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience.

OH MY GOSH!

Booked a whale watching tour and it was AMAZING! We saw nine different whales, who breached the surface over and over again. We also saw porpoises, seals, a bald eagle with
it's nest and just beautiful water. Well worth the time and money!
