Sunset as we were getting back

The trip was good as a whole. The guides was very knowledgable. We did see a few whales whilst at sea which was great but was advertised as sunset and that started AFTER we got back. So that was a little disappointing.
Excellent trip

Captain JJ, Andrew and Corey were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They really made this a wonderful experience. They helped to ensure that everyone was able to see the whales and gave excellent information about their habitat and habits. Our sunset tour was cancelled due to bad weather but the transfer to an alternative was simple and dealt with courteously. A full refund was offered but we really wanted the tour and were really glad we did. We saw lots of whales and had a really great time. Take sickness tablets! Several people were unwell!
Highly recommend

All the folks working the boat were super friendly and happy to talk whale and wildlife with you. Our day was a little rough- so be prepared with wet weather gear and Dramamine! Because of the waves, didn't feel comfortable taking our phone out to get a snap, but we saw a lot of humpback whales! Totally enjoyed it!!
Informative,exciting,and fun!!
