Nice trip - Great crew and a beautiful boat. The whales did not cooperate, but we were given a voucher to use another time at no charge. We did get to see spinner dolphins and flying fish. A good time.

I’ll start off by saying... - I’ll start off by saying that the crew was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! We didn’t have a horrible time by any means and saw some whales far off in the distance but it felt more like a party cruise than a whale watching excursion.
