Amazing experience! - We couldn’t have asked for more! This was a great tour on a catamaran. We saw about 5 whales, and it was a truly magical experience. The captain and crew were really great hosts, and there was plenty of food and drink. We had a little bit of a hard time finding the beach hut, which made us nearly late for the boat. It would be great to provide some more instructions on the ticket.

Lots of whales today - As advertised, they brought us to the whales! The cool part of this adventure was listening to the whale "songs" after they dropped the mic under water. They said the mic could pick up whale sounds about 1 mile out. I've been on many whale tours. Hearing them sing was extra special. The "whale expert" seemed to know his stuff (as I compared it to previous trips). 1.5 hours really didn't seem like enough time by the time we got to a whale populate area.
The crew on the beach and on the boat were friendly and accomdating.

A day with whales - The crew was wonderful and very informative about whales in the area and where to find them. The numbers we saw and the show of breaching and fins and flukes in the air was absolutely incredible!
