Great experience! - We had a great whale watching experience. From the start the service was top notch. Staff was informative and attentive. The boat was not at all crowded and there was plenty of room to move around and see the whales. Breakfast was ready when we got on the boat and lunch was served only an hour or so in. We were fortunate and saw multiple whales and momma whale breached for us! A great excursion with Israel and his staff.

Awesome whale watching trip - Great experience watching humpback whales! Plenty of food and drinks on board, also lots of shaded spots to sit or upstairs. Captain and the assistants were super attentive and helpful. Only slight issue was trying to find the kiosk because it was inside where the cruise terminal is and can be a bit busy. Definitely get there early! Great trip!!

Don’t wait! Book this whale watching tour! - Everything you’ve read about this experience is TRUE! It’s amazing. We saw probably 10-15 whales that put on a show. Service was incredible! The commentary was fun, entertaining, and informative, and the boat only had about 50-60 people on it. The light breakfast items and coffee were thoughtful, the open bar and service were absolutely wonderful and the lunch was enjoyable. Overall 10/10 experience! 🙌🏾

Whale watching 03/2025 - The tour was good, we saw several whale pods breach and some fluke also. The staff was very nice, and the food was good too. A small continental breakfast with coffee was offered, and for lunch was a sandwich, a veggie slaw, and a Mahi Mahi ceviche, yum😋 Plus whatever drinks you wanted.

Super - I really liked the tour, I would have liked to see more whales but I am satisfied, I would recommend putting the hydrophone longer as it is an amazing experience. Ask about the discounts, I bought this tour through a travel gentian at my hotel and I turned out more expensive than hiring direct at The Adventures, the best!

Splashing good time with whales - The boat's captain and crew were very good at spotting whales. We saw quite a few mother and calf pods. They took good care of us with drinks and the food was pretty good.
