No whale to watch. Spending 3 hrs just to watch few dolphins which anyone can watch at other places,I feel is a waste of time. Not recommended if you are planning to watch whales

Great, informative three hour afternoon cruise enjoyed mid-May. While the whales remained hidden, the dolphins were plentiful so we weren’t too disappointed in not seeing a whale. We had a side seat near the door to the inside section so it was very loud from exhaust and we couldn’t hear what the excellent guide was saying until we found a different place to sit. Wear layers, even bring a blanket, as it went from bright sunshine to cloudy cool really quickly.

Overcrowded. The boat just goes to and fro near the shore causing it to sway constantly and so many people were throwing up. No guaranteed sight of whales. All we saw was a few baby dolphins which was good but the 3 hour trip in the sun just to watch a few was a waste of time. To me, the worst part was some of crew members were very rude to passengers. I didn’t have a problem but one of the guys was very rude to a couple with a toddler. It is ok to advice them once or twice but nitpicking on them was so annoying even to strangers like me. I would not recommend this place. It is waste of time and money.
