We went on the sunset dinner, whale watching tour. Everything about it was amazing. We saw a lot of whales. But the biggest surprise was the meal. We were not expecting anything spectacular but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. Also all of the staff was attentive. We had a wonderful time and would book it again.
This was absolutely amazing cruise! I would highly recommend this for couples! Everyone on board was fantastic and only enhanced the experience for us!
Our only hitch was trying to find where to check in. Directions give an address, but multiple buildings in the complex with the same name made it confusing and hard to find. That said, we made it in time, and the rest of our adventure was outstanding. The crew was delightful and knowledgeable, the food (shrimp) was delicious, and we were lucky enough to find a trio with mama, baby, and escort whales that gave us an epic show. We were elated to find them despite it being the end of the season.
Delightful crew and amazing views. Whales all around us. It was beautiful to watch the whales in the sunset reflection.
This was a fantastic overall experience. The crew was amazing. The food and drink were very good and the whales did not disappoint. Nice to know that some of the profits from our excursion are contributing to conservation efforts. It's a win win.
The experience was amazing with our dinner experience and our waitress being so attentive! We saw whales plus the crew was so knowledgeable about them. We actually got the opportunity to listen to the whales in the sea !! Would recommend this trip !
Everything was perfect. The weather, the service, the food and drinks ks and mostly the whales. Amazing
Be ready for a fun time with great crew members and great food. We were exceptionally lucky to see so many whales on our tour. It was hard to sit and eat due to all the excitement!! Make sure to bring a small jacket or coverup as it was chilly by the end of our tour.
The staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food was very good. We saw a lot of whales. It was a wonderful evening.
Awsome! Friendly people, great food, lots of whales, and a great sunset. Could not have been better. Highly recommend.
