5.00Very lucky to witness an adult humpback frolicking for an extended period— tail slaps, fin play and breaching. Full jumps. Guide Jane was very informative and ensured all guests were comfortable. Two retirees and our 12 year old granddaughter had a great time on this excursion

5.00I went with my 2 daughters 18 & 14 years old. It was very well organized trip, our guide gave us so much information. The best part was when hump Whales were jumping and playing in front of us
