Incredible Experience - I can’t imagine a better experience. It was truly amazing. We found some whales that were incredibly active, teaching a baby to breathe and jump. And the snorkeling was great, too. Our guide and captain were so pleasant and knowledgeable. Excellent experience!! Photos are included, don’t have them yet but can’t wait to see them!

A great time out on the... - A great time out on the water. Just our family of four and we were able to see 10 whales including one breaching many times. The kids loved it and the captain and guide were great about pointing out different beaches and landmarks and very knowledgeable about whales.

All The Thumbs Up!! - This was SO worth it! Guide Razz and Captain José were perfect hosts. We saw numerous whales breaching and playing, a pod of dolphins, and many rays. Razz was unbelievably knowledgeable, fun, and engaging; it didn't feel like being lectured. He explained what we were seeing in real time and gave other interesting information in between sightings. He also answered any questions we had. These are small group tours, so you aren't fighting for a good view. He also took awesome (FREE) pictures, which he sends along later. We LOVED listening to the whale song and dolphin chatter on the hydrophone! That was our favorite part; it was so clear that we can hear it on my phone recording! There's nothing you'll regret by booking this!

The splendor of whales - Raciel and Jose, our driver, gave us an incredible experience out on the water. We spent the majority of our time watching one mother whale and her baby, and an escort whale who was with them. They were busy training the baby whale for life and for the huge migration north coming soon. Raciel taught us all a lot, and we felt that the tour was very respectful of the whales. The boat is great - comfortable, smooth riding, and you feel very close to the water and life you are seeing. This is an excellent company and we enjoyed our tour immensely.

Private whale watching - I'd give 10 stars if I could! Elizabeth helped me with booking and my many questions. She was extremely polite and helpful! We booked a private whale watching experience and couldn't be happier❤️ Jose was our captain and Pepe was our guide. The two were beyond friendly and sociable! You can tell this is more than just a job for them and that they truly love and care about the whales! My husband and I learned so much about them besides being able to enjoy their beauty and share their ocean with them for a bit❤️ Thank you all again for a once in a lifetime opportunity!

So many whales - Absolutely unbelievable!! Everything we imagined. Raz and captain were the best. We saw so many whales during our trip. It was great to have someone take the pictures for us. The zodiac is the only way to do this trip. It turns on a dice, fast, super smooth, gets you away from the other boats. I can't say enough good things about this team and trip
