This was our third whale watch trip with Body Glove. Each is different. Saw whales each time. The boat is stable and comfortable to ride. They even provide sunscreen and encourage its use. We ride on the top deck which gets us and our camera gear away from the water/spray. There are great guides who explain much about the whales and answer all sorts of questions. We have seen whales each time, fairly close-by. But, since this is nature they do not show up on command. Still, with the crew's knowledge you can often find and then stay with them.

Saw whales right in about 60 ft if water. Great day out on the water. Also saw spinner dolphins. Boat had complimentary nonalcoholic drinks and snacks. That was a pleasant surprise.

Weather was terrible the day we were booked to do this. They sent an email saying they had to cancel and please call the number on the email. Really pleasant fellow answered the phone and apologized for the inconvenience asked if we would like to rebook or get refund. As we were leaving that evening I asked for refund. It appeared within minutes in my email. I will definitely book again next time I’m here!
