Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Sophie, apologies for the delay we have been busy editing all the unreal above and underwater footage from your tour!!! Thanks for your 2 star absolutely insulting review. So stoked you enjoyed actually getting to swim with Humpback whales out on the Pacific Ocean. Your complaints unfortunately are a reflection of your obviously, action packed lifestyle you live. If you aren't absolutely amazed and in awe of the whales and this amazing experience we brought to you and everyone onboard! we want to quite our jobs and do what you do... as you obviously are doing something everyday that is way better!
