We followed a pod of whales down the coast for a while. It was really cool to see the whales, despite the choppy waters that day. The captain said he has been whale watching for 50-60 years. We would definitely recommend if you want to see some humpback whales on your trip. One of the other tours that uses a catamaran style boat was not able to chase the whales into the choppier waters where we followed the whales.

Excellent experience, staff were knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see several whales and learn a lot about their journey and life.

Book the early morning trip. Whales are more active in the morning. We did the 12:15pm trip and we only saw 3 whales and they were very brief unless a few seconds. However the trip at 9:15am saw a ton of whales. The workers on the boat indicated the am trip is always the best. You can bring on your own food and alcohol if you so desire. They sell snack and soda and water on the boat. If you get seasick bring your dramamine.
