5.00I was worried I would pay the money and not see whales. Not going to happen! These guys took us out to a spot that was loaded with whales in a beautifuly safe giant boat with crew of 4 that I would trust with my life. It was incredible. The whales gently swim through and spout, and the captain gets in sync, and then it's just a matter of time! Two hours is enough to see what you're looking for. Best of our trip - epic, legend memories with my wife and kids. Learned a lot and verified everything they told us - and it was all very accurate. Crew was nutty, smart, and the girls loved it. We had free drinks, but really - we were busy screaming the whole time in excitement! Not to be missed.
