This tour was cancelled, but we were upgraded to another cruise. Captain Even and his crew were wonderful as were the ladies at reception. All were very solicitous of the needs of guests. The Captain even helped us fix a flat after the cruse was over! Views were stunning, and the narrative was interesting. I would recommend this experience for everyone. However, you must be prepared for wind, waves and to get wet!
We are really glad to hear you had a great time. We also appreciate the advise! The wind and waves are unpredictable !
I’ve traveled in many countries and all over the USA and have never experienced worse service than the trip with this company.

This is the funnest thing I have ever done. Captain Josh and crew were spectacular!! 1000% would recommend. If you haven't done it, you are missing out!
We love the 1000% recommendation!!
The trip was very informative and exciting . We loved it . We got to see a couple groups of whales and dolphins
Thank you!
Best time ever!! Our group of four absolutely loved the energy on this boat and the crew was so accommodating and fun! Highly recommend for people who are looking for a good time and good energy. Not for the faint of heart because it was a bit rocky, but incredible experience!
Thank you Stacey, we're glad to hear your gang had a great time!
Absolutely gorgeous views! Food was excellent and the captain and crew took excellent care of us. On the way back we did see 2 whale tails! Just an FYI for those that aren’t renting a car make sure you have transportation back because it is a very small town and we were unable to prebook a ride share on the same day. Due to remoteness ride shares are usually unavailable once you return from the sunset cruises. We were able to prebook a taxi but was quite expensive.
We appreciate your advise, and thank you very much for joining us. We're sorry to hear you had some difficulty with transportation.
Great views, comfortable boat, wonderful crew. Highly recommend this tour. We just sat back and enjoyed the surroundings. This is a great tour for those who do not want to snorkel or swim. It was a little over 4 hours and perfect for us.
Thank you Patricia, we appreciate the kind words.
