We recently did the whale watching cruise. I suffer from sea sickness, and was concerned about being out on the water for two hours. The trip was great. No problems with the sickness, or the ride. The boat was a goods size. The crew got us out to several large pods of dolphins. What a fun thing to watch. Unfortunately that day, we were not able to see any whales. I will definitely go back in the future to do this again.

And the captain did a great job communicating with the passengers. I brought my 10 year old daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
