I had a great time during the entire tour. We saw 4 whales and watched them play for at least an hour. I got lots of pictures and video. It was definitely one of the highlights of my vacation.

The Weather was terrible; the crew really didn't give a rats and the voucher for food & drinks very poor. Got at the end. For $99 per person a very low standard!

We were not informed prior our booking or departure that the sea was so rough, all ended up seasick despite eating the seasick pills and could not see the Whale. All 7 of us were busy vomitting in the cruise.

The tour guide is very friendly and provided lots of information. We spotted a whale and calf from very far away. I did get a picture of whale tail. Be preparing that sea was really rough and it is better to take some seasick medicine before you go. Overall this is a lifetime experience and worth to take it.
