5.00As a first time experience it was really fun! Enjoyed the ocean and glad we got to see whales & dolphins. Totally worth it! I would suggest taking the earliest time, thats when they feed & are on top of the water 👍.
Wonderful experience

5.00This was an amazing excursion, the boat was clean and staff was very kind. The best part we saw a mother whale with her baby. Lots and lots of dolphins, for me that was the best part.
Our lucky day!
