5.00Beautiful day, lucky to see several whales and dolphins. Everyone in our group of 8 had a great time except person with broken ankle using a scooter. They were nice in letting her board first but then wouldn't let her up on the deck even though we were told when we booked weeks earlier and were told she could. She had to sit inside the whole time so the rest of us alternated keeping her company.
Amazing experience on the Pacific Ocean
