This tour was amazing. We were able to get close to several different groups of whales. Our guide was so knowledgeable and educational. I would highly recommend this tour
This was awesome! Better than we could have imagined or hoped for. Our guides were the best - so friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and enthusiastic! About 10 of us were in a safe boat with room to move around. We saw so many whales - even ones that fully breached the surface of the water! Also saw a ton of dolphins and a sea turtle. I would do this again in heartbeat - what a cool experience! Muchas gracias!
This was a great trip. Little hard to find the meeting point at first but the people at the marina are helpful and we made it. A little educational time before we headed to the boats and then small groups on 2 boats separate and went out to find the whales. The humpbacks are so majestic and they got so close to our boat !!! They even put a microphone into the water to hear the whale songs. You will love this tour.
Jemma’s knowledge and enthusiasm for whales and marine life is contagious. We went on the last day of the whale season and Jemma and captain Cesar expertly and safely ensured we saw lots of whales. The little boat was able to speed to each group of whales before they dove, while keeping a safe distance. And we were treated with several breaches and a mom and baby surfacing near the boat and just hanging out for a while. They also had a hydrophone so we could hear the whales singing underwater! Absolutely magical experience.
Jemma and her captain Caesar were very knowledgeable and made sure we had a truly amazing experience. For the last day of the season they still managed to find us plenty of whales and dolphins to witness.
Gemma and Cesar are the absolute best! Even though it was close to the end of the whale season, we saw 15+ whales and many bottle nose dolphins. Gemma is so knowledgeable and Cesar was a safe boat captain. We’ve done whale watching before on bigger boats and saw very few whales compared to our experience with Gemma. Highly recommend!!
Canceled the tour and didn't tell us despite us reaching out a week ahead to confirm. Left us scrambling to find something at our only day here at port.
Fantastic tour! I learned so much about humpback whales and dolphins! We saw a ton of humpback whales and the boat ride was fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I would recommend this tour!
This was an excellent tour! Insightful educational piece before leaving on the boat. Small group - we had 8 but could have only fit a couple more - led by a marine biologist. Other tours we saw out on the water had 50+. We were at the end of the season (mid-March) and saw 12-15 whales, including mommas with their babies. Highly highly recommend.
I had a blast. All staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I saw whales, dolphins, turtles and stingray
