This was a very comfortable boat with lots off room to move about. We saw only one whale, but followed him for quite a while for good views. There's just no way to guarantee how many you will see, as it's up to the whales! Lots of dolphins, which was great fun to watch. The captain knew where to find creatures, and he had lots of good information to give us. It had been very windy the day before, and maybe not as good a trip, but we relaxed in the sunshine for a great boat ride for only $35. We took our trip at 12. It was available at 10,12 and 2. We checked weatherforecasts and reserved our trip on line ahead of time.
