| We did this back in April but were only able to see dolphins (but boy were there alot of them) and the trip was great. This time WOW!! We saw 8 or 9 whales. I couldn't keep up with the captains count and he was just as excited as all of us on board. Perfect day, perfect experience. Will definitely be doing it again. |

| A very nice clean boat, with friendly people working.
Best part they tried and succeeded to find whales and we were able to get close to 2 blue whales!
Great deal for the price. |

| We didn't get to see whales, but we saw a pod of dolphins that you won't see in captivity. It was exciting and the ride on the ocean was fun. It's always a blessing to see the creatures that God designed with such perfection!

| About the time we should have turned back to return to the harbor a whale was spotted! Thank goodness the pilot let us watch the whale for a while. He moved the boat closer and even phoned a marine biologist to check on the whale's behavior. We had a great time. |

| We were asked to keep our eyes open and yell out if we saw anything. There were many "sharp eyes". We were then taken to the area, and spotted a large number of dolphins. The dolphins entertained us by jumping in and out of the water and swimming along the catamaran. After spending a generous amount of time watching the dolphins, we were taken further out. Someone yelled out "whale" and everyone got excited. We saw a lot of splashing off in the distance, so the skipper sped out there. While I know that there is a schedule to be maintained, the skipper of the boat gave us a good amount of time to observe the action of the whale, and talked to us about baleen whales (which is what we saw). Due to the distance he had to travel to see the whale and the time given to observe it's actions, we returned a few minutes late. It was appreciated that instead of being rigid to time constraints, he allowed us the opportunity to follow the whale for a while, instead of rushing back. |

| We loved the whale watching cruise. We saw a huge pod of dolphins. They swam along side the boat for about 10 minutes. Then we saw an 80 foot blue whale. What a sight! The captain was great - gave us tons of educational information. The boat is sparkling clean. Couldn't have been happier. |

| The boat was perfect for small kids because they can stand or sit on the deck by themselves and see out through the sides. The boat was very nice, the captain was kind and knowledgeable. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way! |

| We enjoyed our 2 1/2-hour trip. We hoped to see a whale but couldn't find one--it apparently is not the prime season for that. However, we saw hundreds of dolphins, which was a new and exciting experience. There was plenty of room on the boat, and on weekends there is a marine biologist on board to assist in identification of species, to provide useful information and to answer questions.
You should note that it's not a particularly smooth trip, though the back of the boat is a little smoother. My wife and I have been on a number of catamarans of this size when snorkeling in the Caribbean and have never gotten seasick. My wife was fairly seasick, as were some other passengers, and I was a bit queazy. Nothing a little Dramamine won't cure, so if you're not a veteran on the seas, take it before you go. It will make the trip more enjoyable and will ensure that you won't miss out on anything.
Overall, well worth the time and a good value. |

| While we were not lucky enough to actually see a whale on our tour, we did happen upon an amazingly large pod of dolphin and were able to photograph them as they played along side the boat. The Captain and crew were knowledgeable and entertaining, making the trip even more enjoyable. |

| The day was very nice with a medium breeze that made it very comfortable. When we departed the seas were a bit choppy and as we went further out it became stronger. One of the children of a larger group was on the bow and threw up his breakfast. Bad enough but the crew after some time came forward briefly looked at it and then proceeded to throw a small bar towel over it . This did not cover the mess and for the next hour and a half everyone was forced to observe this and worse yet smell it. This ruined the entire cruise for many and made many of the passengers get very queezy. I would suggest that perhaps your company should invest in a bucket to clean up such accidents or at least inform your customers what they should do if they start to feel badly. This was absolutely the worst sailing experience I have had and I would not recommend your trip to anyone
