An amazing experience you must do - we saw 10 sperm whales which hung around for about 45 minutes which was incredible. Also saw dolphins on the way out. Britney and Selo made the trip great fun and were very knowledgeable on the whales!
It wasn't the season to see many whales, but they persevered and I was able to see whales. It was good.
Excellent outing. Britney and "Sailo" the pilot are very welcoming and generous. We saw 8 sperm whales.
Very beautiful experience, super crew, respectful of animals. We were able to see sperm whales and dolphins.
The guides were absolutely amazing however this is a give/take type of experience. We did not see any whales or dolphins so it was partially a waste. Nature is truly fickle so beware.
I had an amazing time on our whale and dolphin watching tour. We saw a large pod of dolphins playing alongside the boat, which was such a fun and unforgettable experience, and we were lucky enough to spot two whales surfacing in the distance. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole trip was well organized and relaxed. The boat was comfortable with plenty of space to enjoy the views and take photos. Overall, it was a really special experience and I highly recommend.
Great adventure with very knowledgeable guides. Saw lots of whales and the tour only books eight passengers. Second time we've done it.
Unlike all our prior experiences with Viator, this time communication was poor. Our cruise ship had to change to the commercial port instead of the main port. I notified using the app and requested confirmation to no avail and tried calling also with no success. At 9am was told pick up was to be at 9:30 as they were picking up some folks at the other port. However, the tour had a max of 8 and all 8 boarded at 9:30 from our cruise ship. The boat captain & mate were pleasant.
Looking for something then in the right direction and then a young whale right on the boat and on the way back still dolphins 😀 Mega 👍
Very well organized tour to the whales and dolphins. Pick up at the cruise terminal was on time. The care on board was professional and always for the benefit of the animals. We've seen a lot of things.
