Ani_T, May 2026

Very good, crew was very...

Very good, crew was very helpful in rescheduling our departure time when we needed too. The boat ride itself was good but half hour short

Tom_T, May 2026

A family gathering

Siting Up front get sprayed, is fun but will need a towel or some cover inorder to stay dry. No Whales seen

Patti_M, May 2026

Enjoyable day!

Enjoy what you see, rather than lament what you don’t see. We saw many, many dolphins having fun with us. Also saw a Mola Mola, or Ocean Sunfish. I do wish, however, that we could have heard the captain/guide better on the topside speakers. What I did hear was informative and interesting.
