I wish I could write a review but when we arrived at the wharf we were told the tour had been cancelled over a month ago not that I had been told. Rather surprisingly payment was taken 48 hours before the trip was due to take place and I still receiving reminder notifications on the morning of the trip. Disappointing to say the least.

The whales were so close to boat. It was an amazing sight. Loved it. The ocean waters were rough, but the crew managed everyone well and were helpful.

I saw whale jump but wife missed it all she saw was the splash. But was able to see pics online. I recommend it very much.
