Our family took an early afternoon whale watching cruise. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and our family learned a lot about the few whales that were seen. On this trip, unfortunately not much else (dolphins, turtles, etc.) was seen, but the trip was still worthwhile. The boat was big with many people, but still able to move around and not feel smothered. It was a bit hard to find the main office for check-in with free parking in the shopping area. You are on your own to stroll several blocks down the hill to find the dock area. We didn't have a problem finding it but allow enough time (at least 20 minutes) because it is a busy area and takes some walking around the Marriott Hotel to locate it.
