4.00During the summer you might not see whales, but the cruise is very relaxing and enjoyable. The boat captain did find a large group of dolphins on our way back in and spent extra time with them to ensure everyone saw them and took their fill of photos.

5.00We didn’t see any whales, but I was expecting it since I read the other reviews here prior to the departure time. we saw plenty of dolphins tho, even baby ones, from close and it was great. Some people had motion sickness and there was some unfortunate puke out. If you have motion sickness, take a Dramamine prior to go. Bring a jacket because it can get pretty chilly, even during summer. Don’t go on high heels (bumpy) and.l bring water and snacks. It was great and I’d recommend it. Except that they shouldn’t call it “whale watch” to lower the expectations. I’d be really frustrated if I hadn’t read the other reviews before the trip.
