Well organized

Well organized and good crew. Had a good ride and got to see some dolphins but unlucky as we couldn’t site whales today.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the ride and had the opportunity to see dolphins during your adventure. While it's unfortunate that the whales were a bit shy this time, we hope you'll join us again for another chance to spot them. Our team is always dedicated to making each trip memorable, and we appreciate your kind words about our crew. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more exciting adventures in the future!

El personal muy atento en...

El personal muy atento en la actividad , iban a lo que iban a la busca de la ballena y se mostraba muy atento en todo momento a la que veían una señal de ellos arrancaban motores para acercarnos a el , es un animal que no se deja ver fácilmente pero nosotros lo logramos . No en todo esplendor pero fue bonito . De los barcos que vimos iguales que el nuestro para ver las ballenas y delfines , tengo que destacar que muy bien equipado y en buenas condiciones , respecto a otros que vi . Lo que no me gustó fue la falta de información , la actividad comenzaba a las 7 pero en la pagina ponía a las 6 y estuvimos 1 h esperando en el barco hasta llenarlo , para una persona que se marea un poco sería un mal comienzo estar 1h ahí .

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive comments about our staff and their attentiveness during the activity. We're glad you were able to spot the whale and that you found our boats to be well-equipped and in good condition. We apologize for the confusion regarding the start time. To ensure our guests have the best experience, we start boarding one hour early so that everyone can reserve the best seats. We understand that waiting on the boat can be uncomfortable for those prone to seasickness, and we will work on improving our communication to avoid such issues in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure.
