The boat can accommodate a maximum of 12 people, but there were only 6 of us. So plenty of space. Initially it was not possible to spot whales, but later we found a number of whales with young. We followed this for about 45 minutes. Took some nice photos and videos of it. Staff know what they are doing and are very nice.

Small boat (advantage and disadvantage at the same time) - definitely not suitable for people with 1,90 m or taller!! We were back at the dock 10 minutes before the 3h 30min!

Great adventure onto the open ocean just beyond the reef. We got to see a number of breaches by whales from a distance a hundred to three hundred yards. We understood going in that there is always a chance of not getting lucky in seeing any whales but we did get to see some activity. The guides were knowledgeable and explained a lot about the whales. We did get to see some dolphins too and some flying fish. Only a few lucky groups get to be overwhelmed so keep your expectations reasonable and it will be a good 3-4 hour experience

Sebastian and BG were amazing guides. We saw a momma and baby. They were experts with finding the whales and explaining what we needed to do. Highly recommend.
