5.00This was amazing. Small group with an extremely comfortable large boat. Captain and crew were very polite and so engaging. Free drinks and snacks throughout the entire cruise and wow so many whales. We followed a large pod x7 males in search of the females for over an hour and they swam up to and under the boat. Dolphins were also in abundance. Best whale watching trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend this trip.
Amazing!!
