10/10! Excellent! - 10/10!!! Fun and educational experience along with some really close whale encounters. Exciting to be so close to the water and move about quickly for the best vantage points, without any issues of motion sickness. Our guide Benji was great and has a wealth of knowledge regarding humpback whales. Easy to ask questions. Bilingual. Captain of the boat enjoys his job and it was easy to see. Overall, excellent experience and would recommend to family and friends.

Outstanding whale watching experience - Outstanding tour! This is our 5th whale watching experience and by far the best one in PV. The skipper was very adept in finding whales. We saw a pod of 3 and a couple of moms and calves and were able to follow them for 30 minutes while respecting their space. Benjamin was very informative and entertaining. We will definitely be booking this tour again!

A perfect day! - We LOVED this trip! The day started out foggy and I wasn't hopeful to see anything but we ended up lucky and saw numerous whales and multiple jumps! Our guide, Benjamin was an encyclopedia of information (in multiple languages) and I left feeling so grateful. It's always a good sign when the person guiding you is as hyped as you are to see whales!

It was very educational. ... - It was very educational. This was our third whale watching tour, not the largest or smallest we have taken, but we learned the most that we had during any of the tours. The boat we took may have been a little smaller and harder to board than some of the people may have expected. Would recommend that the tour guide seat the less mobile passengers first in the seats that are easiest to get in and out of, so they don't feel embarrassed that everyone is looking at them as they are trying to board. The "straddle seats" should be assigned to those most mobile and on the younger side as these can be difficult for those with limited flexibility.

Whales in March - The trip went beautifully. Gorgeous day and lots of whales, mostly mama's and babies. The boat was fast and our Captain (Eagle Eye) was great at spotting the best places to go. Benji was full of knowledge and gave us so much information and made our journey enjoyable. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Crowded Boat - Crowded boat. No room to move and blocked viewing from other passengers. Was told only those from the cruise ship would be on board, but that was not true. They picked up others which delayed our time of departure.
