1.00They do not communicate the pickup time until after the pickup time for the tour. We tried to contact this vendor TWICE days earlier to confirm pickup time and NEVER received any response until AFTER the pickup time. This is a shell game by Viator to collect fees but not ensure any service.
Happy to see humpbacks but could have been better.

3.00Boat suitable and big enough for the trip. Would have been better if sighting of whales were considered for everyone on board and not just aiming for views from everyone to see from front of boat. We followed one pod but would have been too to move in and see others.
Great experience
