My 2 kids(17 yrs. old and 13 yrs. old boys) and I did the 2:30pm Hot Springs Tour. The front end staff were friendly and informative. Our Captain, Marla, was upbeat. positive and adventuresome and used her radio to communicate with other's to find and locate any whale's for us on the way. We saw grey whales, sea lions and a sun fish basking(laying sideways)at the surface of the ocean. Marla has a great sense of adventure and she easily communicated with us. She covered safety and asked what was important to us on this trip and she achieved just that. Tour was 6.5 hrs. total. 1.5 hrs. to the hot springs with a few stops on the ocean to view wild life, almost 3.0 hrs. on the island to enjoy a 0.5 hrs. walk each way and 2.0 hrs. time to enjoy the hot springs. Definitely bring a lunch, wear water shoes($8.00 at the Pharmasave) to scale the rocks in the hot springs and a second pair of dry shoes/sandals/runners for the ride on the zodiak, and a towel to dry off.
