Excellent and experienced staff made the whole experience great. They knew the precise location to find whales and providing proper spots for clicking great photos and videos. Loved watching the Mama whales with their over energetic calves . The beautifully perfect rainbow added to the beauty of the whole experience. The arrangement for refreshments was really appreciable . Overall it was a memorable experience.
