We had a great time! We were scheduled for a 3:30 time but it was cancelled and they were kind enough to reschedule for the next morning. The staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable from when we arrived and not knowing where to go until we exited the boat. We saw so many humpback whales. If we return again we would definitely book this excursion again.
