We saw tons of dolphins which was amazing!! But no whales. Never the crews fault; they gave us a fantastic experience and were very kind and helpful.

Everyone needs to take a trip out to into the ocean and this is the best way to do it if you don't own your own boat. It was not exactly whale season but the dolphins were putting on a spectacular show. Two kinds of dolphins. One closer to shore that I learned liked to occasionally surf and those away from shore that are known as the common dolphin. My kids loved seeing proper wild/ sea life away from the zoos and aquariums we often visit. The crew were great. There were a few volunteers taking photos and teaching us about the dolphins. Apparently this area has the highest concentration of common dolphins which in itself is amazing. Great vibes. Highly recommended.

My 12-year-old daughter and I went on the 3:00pm trip on a Tuesday. It was great to get the Tuesday half-price special. We felt very safe in terms of COVID precautions, as numbers were limited on the boat, and there was plenty of room fir everyone to space out. The naturalist on-board circulated around and gave interesting commentary, and all of the staff were very nice. We didn’t see any whales, but we saw a mega-pod of dolphins - an amazing sight! I would definitely recommend this trip.
