Informative Whale Watching

Linda_R, Oct 2024

Although we only saw a few whales and they did not breach (of course no one can control nature), our tour guide was great and gave us lots of information about whales and their migrations and breeding habits.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Linda, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! While whale sightings can be unpredictable, we’re glad you enjoyed the informative guidance from our tour team. It’s our pleasure to provide insights into these incredible creatures, their migrations, and their behaviors to make each outing memorable. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure! Best regards, Captain Cook Cruises

Bom so as baleias

Debora_H, Oct 2024

A observação das baleias foi super ultra mega legal, indico bem. Mas o hop on hop off foi bem dinheiro mal investido. Mas pelas baleias valeu a pena.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Debora, Thank you for sharing your experience! We are very happy to hear that the whale watching was so amazing and that you would recommend it. It is a unique experience, and we’re glad it was worth it. We are sorry to hear that the hop on hop off tour did not meet your expectations. Your comments are important to us. We hope to see you again soon for more unforgettable adventures! Best regards, Captain Cook Cruises
