Got Lucky with better than expected weather and lots of good whale watching including seeing whale breach fully out of the water, twice!

They did a great job of finding the whales, and getting us close enough to see them without harassing them. Another company was in the same area and wasn’t as respectful. Nice natural history talk on the boat too.

Quite an experience watching the whales and dolphins. The narrative by the marine biologist was very informative giving insight of the whales habits.

Clean boat, great stuff, beautiful weather, 5years old with no caprices, what else? We have another one, so we will wait till he get a little older to come again. Thank you.

Six of us from Maine rented a van and drove down to take the trip and we were very happy with the boat trip and the folks were very friendly and informed us about the whales and their social life as while as the danger they are in from over killing and the trouble with the fishing nets and lines left in the water and how they get tangled in them and end up dyeing.

We saw at least ten close up sightings of humpback whales. Plan on at least 4 hours+
Bring your own food, snacks and non alcoholic beverages. If your not vacillated stay outside, hardly anyone inside the vessel wore masks.

An amazing day learning about whales!! The boat took us to their feeding grounds and we watched as they dove, waving their tales at us. The staff was very knowledgeable and walked around sharing information with passengers. We've already purchased vouchers to go again later in the summer. Bring your camera and your sunscreen!
