Capt and guide were wonderful. We were lucky enough to see a large group of male whales competing for the female’s attention! We watched for few hours very close to us at times and absolutely amazing to see. We loved it! Was nice doing private boat so you could move around freely to watch and photograph. Would do again! After doing a couple whales tours here I would always choose morning not afternoon. This was morning and perfect!

We had a wonderful experience with Rodrigo and the Captain. Both were exceptional in their respective roles. They could see the whales and maneuvered the boat well so we could see them. Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and told us many things about the whales and dolphins that we saw. It was the best whale watching experience we’ve ever had. We saw more whales than ever before and we whale watch every chance we get. Three whales came to our boat and dove under it. Wow.

Erik and Emilio are the best! Knowledgeable and gave us the best experience. We saw over 13 whales: mamas and their babies, couples, and groups competing for the female whale :)

We had an absolutely amazing time whale watching! We were skeptical at first if we would actually see any whales and we were extremely surprised. Well worth the admission cost and would definitely do it again!

Carlos was an amazing guide. He was very informative and funny. They knew exactly where to take us to see the whales. We saw one baby learning to breach and another flapping his tail. This was our second trip with the company and we will be back!!

Our guide Carlos was amazing! He found all the active whale groups and helped us hear the whale songs under the water! I'd do this again a thousand times!
