5.00We saw whales the whole time we were on this excursion. The boat crew was very knowledgeable about any whale question that was asked.
We went, we saw, we heard. Loved every minute.

5.00I saw whales! Great, fun, informative crew. They put a microphone into the water so we could hear all the surrounding whales sing which was amazing. I wished they would have left it in the water longer. I could listen to whales singing all day. Would go again.
