Also the agent will ask you call 1st thing in the morning of your boat trip to make sure the trip is still on as the captains get a coast guard weather report each morning to ensure conditions are safe to travel. One last thing, be sure to call the day ahead to reserve your seat on the boat. I paid 40$ for myself which included museum admission and my hour and a half whale tour. The boat is small but comfortable with cushioned seats, each accommodated with a waterproof blanket to cover yourself and or camera equipment. The entire time the guide is explaining whale habits and welcoming any other guest questions. Once we found the whales (took about 10 mins to locate) we stuck with them for an hour. The guides keep radio on the boat to communicate with other whale boats in the area to keep tabs on the current location of the whales. You remained seated at all times and the guide is quick to point out and describe any and all other sealife along the way including (when I went) harbor seals, California seals and countless bird species. There you board a 6 man boat and set off into the Pacific.

You are then escorted via short walk to private doc located in the harbor. The whale tour meets at her museum so you can watch her opening video. She so offers a whale eco tour that I took and loved.

Her museum is entertaining and insightful. Out of all the whale boat tours available in Depoe Bay, this was the most recommended due to the owner and research scientist Carrie Newell.
