Better than expected - It was better than expected. The waiting was marginally tense but when we boarded, we found a very comfortable space and welcoming crew. We were immediately asked if we wish any type of beverage as we sat with anticipation. Instructions were explained as well as expectations. This was important since the whale watching season was ending and the chance of seeing whales might be limited. We had many moments where we saw many whales. Food was brought to guests on the ship to avoid mishaps. Food was sufficient to satisfy. If food is your priority you may want to consider a cruise. Kudos to the crew for doing a marvelous job.

Drinks flowing, music going and whales whales everywhere;) - When I booked the sunset and whale tour, the pictures for the boat showed this beautiful ship. I didn't know if we would actually be on that particular boat, and yes...We were. The boat was awesome and so were the crew! The snacks were great and drinks were flowing and they tried their best to find us whales!. We got to see the as we were heading back. Totally worth every penny:)

Simply the best tour company! - Top to bottom this is an excellent tour and tour company. The staff is amazing and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The facilities and the boat are great - everything is as advertised. The boat is spacious with cushioned seating. During the cruise, your guide (ours was Isaiah - who was awesome - and shout out to Alex too!) provides a lot of helpful information about the bay and the whales. The drinks and snacks were great and the guacamole and ceviche were fresh and tasty and the staff is always offering to get you whatever you need. Of course, the whales and sunset are what you are there to see and these things are subject to nature. Our cruise was lucky - we saw 17 different whales, two breaches (really lucky!) and a gorgeous sunset - all in perfect weather! The captain works hard to track down the whales and he did a great job. What a great experience!

Pretty good - The boat was large and comfy. The snacks were not so great and the drinks were watered down. Staff was nice and accommodating. They gave good explanations of the whale behavior.
