Excellent Tour! Wonderful experience. The tour guides were engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Hats off to Everisto, Lino, and Mario! City Tour and Lunch was exceptional.
Excellent experience on this whale watching excursion. It did not disappoint as we seen a total of 6 whales. We saw a mommy whale and her baby and the baby was learning his jumps and his fins were waving outta the water! It was so cute! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the whales and such a friendly man. We would recommend it to you!

We went whale watching at the end of the season but it didn’t disappoint. We saw a lot of whales and some Manta Rey’s. Our guide Danny was very informative and friendly. The boat driver, Arturo, did a fantastic job. And the photographer Andy was great. All in all it was a great trip!
We went on this tour this morning and it was excellent. Far better than most in the group expected. We booked thru our Cruise and was really hoping to see some whales. Boy did we! We spent at least 45 minutes following 3 whales. The mother and baby whale were the highlight. Amazing how close we got and Adrian our tour guide had so much info for us. Definitely recommend! 5 stars!
