Capt. Ashley and Patrick are amazing. It was a high surf day but she was an expert driver and rode the seas as comfortable as it could be. We loved the ride almost as much as the 5 whales with 18 breaches so close to us. The ocean was too rough to go into the caves like we did last time, but the crew made it amazing in so many other ways. The snorkeling was incredible as well, of course but the ride, the whales, and the crew was so memorable! Would do it every time and request Capt. Ashley and Patrick. Highpoint of the grandkids and our vacation!
