Perfect day! The boat was not full so plenty of seating! Veryclean and well organized process. Parking onsite! Our 3 hour journey did not sight a whale… but we saw dolphins. They gave us a free pass to come again since we did not see a whale! Very nice! Added bonus: terrific sound track the entire trip! 🤗 Highly recommend.

It was a fun ride. We saw quite a few pods of dolphins. The guids was really informative. Unfortunately there were no whales. Can't get them every time. For the price and duration, I felt like they should have provided a small snack, like a bag or chips or something for free. Otherwise, I recommend.

The boat ride itself was fine and the staff very courteous but it’s apparent from many reviews that the whale part of the watching is less frequent than one might expect. We’ve done whale watches elsewhere and always seen whales. For the price for a family of four, the experience was a letdown as spending a large amount of time around several Dolphin pods while seeing no whales was not expected. I was surprised that much time was spent around the dolphins instead of looking for whales. Food prices on board were reasonable and the boat was nice. It’s just more of a Dolphin and bird watch.
