Great crew! They served our meal efficiently. Food was delicious. One crew member served as a “spotter” to alert us to the presence of wildlife. Just an overall great experience!

Great trip. Boat was clean and in good condition. The captain was very much accommodating and did her best to get close to marine life so we could see them. The narration was sometimes hard to follow due to other background noises.
