    We had a great time. We didn’t see any whales for the first hour + but then we came across a group of humpbacks and they put on a show for us. We paid extra for the upper-deck access and I thought it was worth it. It was a great experience!

  • Wonderful trip!

    Very nice-I was worried about getting seasick but was very prepared and felt fine. Saw at least 15 humpback whales-book this trip and you can’t go wrong!
