5.00It was the best experience never ever. Definitely will bring more friends to come with. But remember to take sickness pills, lots of people vomited. All the staff were excellent, running around to help to clean up and collected all the disgusting rubbish. Thank you all.
Wonderful experience.

5.00We had a fantastic experience. We saw a pod of whales in the distance and the boat edged closer. We had a great view of the whales and the boat crew stayed out a bit longer so that all the passengers could see the whales. Highly recommended.
Great trip and the whales were magnificent!

5.00We have done several whale watching cruises and have never saw so many whales. They were very active. It was a larger ship than we have been on before.
Fun day on the waves

5.00Besides the boat ride with the wonerful information on speaker, seeing the many humpback whales was more than expectations. Very comforting to see the care of the crew for people on board with motion siclness. Thank you for the expierence.

5.00Very happy with this excursion. They had Abby, marine biologist, who explained a lot about humpback whales and always on a lookout so it’s easy for us to spot. And I love how they didn’t put a full capacity of the boat so it's comfortable for us to move around. Thanks to the captain who gave us some extra time as a lot of whales suddenly when we were just about to return back. And it’s awesome that they provided pickup and dropoff bus from and to hotel in the city.
Wonderful whale watching experience
