Beautiful experience

Very fun experience. We were around 25 people on the boat, following the whales. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to see a full whale jumping out of the water, but we had enough luck for a tail

Smooth ride and knowledgeable staff. Took us right to a mother and calf whale that we were able to watch for over an hour. The calf was breaching and playing and you could here the interaction between the two with the underwater microphone. It was great!

Whale watching just average

This tour was offered too early in the season. I felt scammed. We should’ve been made aware before booking that the chances of seeing active whale activity was less than it would be a month later when the season was active (for the same price). We expected to see whale activity. However, we just saw one from a far distance twice. Not impressed.

We had a great time seeing whales...

We had a great time seeing whales, dolphins and even manta rays on this trip. We were pleasantly surprised to find the boat to have a top that provided shade. They also had a nice selection of drinks and snacks throughout the trip. It's great that this boat is relatively small, making it a more intimate experience and ensuring that every seat had a great view, but it also went very fast and was quite a bumpy ride a times.
