Crew was entertaining and accommodating. My mom and I felt quite seasick since the waters were choppy that day. So take precaution if you are sensitive to motion sickness etc. Got to see the whale spouts and breathing. We got to follow a couple of whales none of them jumped or dove down. The crew offered a chance to reschedule for a better chance or during better weather which I appreciated but we unfortunately didn't have time. I do recommend this. Crew was very friendly and entertaining.

The crew was very engaging. They followed the sightings of blow hole sprays in the hopes of being able to show us a full whale breach. Unfortunately, I only saw the blow hole sprays but my friend saw the whale tale and some dolphins who were alongside the boat. Boat is not huge so you were aware of the dipping of the boat on the waves. One of my friends experienced some sea sickness.
thrilling
