- Our family had a great time seeing mama whales and babies and jumping in the ocean for a swim. The tour guide Erika, and crew did a great job taking care of everyone. The restaurant recommendation for Las Esferas was an added bonus. Very helpful.

Well worth it - Marilena was our tour guide and was great! She is fluent in both spanish and english and the tour was so fun. Launching the boat from the beach, riding through the ocean, and seeing the dolphins, whales, and other wildlife was well worth it

Extraordinary experience with an excellent guide/host - Extraordinary experience with an excellent guide/host, we were off timing with the other tours and that gave us the edge to experience the wales exclusively. It made it possible to hear the wales sing and playfully chase them. The wales picked up on the good vibes that was on the boat thanks to our experienced guide/host. An extraordinary experience that i would recommend to all animal lovers

Saw a male humpback multiple times - We walked to the boat in knee deep water with waves waist high. It could be difficult to keep camera or phone dry.

Super good - I would do it again immediately:) - The group size was very pleasant, everything went smoothly, the seats on the boat were upholstered, which was great! We saw several whales and dolphins :) each got a small Tupper can with fresh fruit as a snack and we still had time to go snorkeling/swimming. Admission to the national park was included. Price Performance tip-top, all in all a great excursion and great day:) totally nice tour guides and crew

Great time watching the whales! - Good tour. There was about a 10-15 minute walk from the office to the beach, which wasn't super convenient, but they positioned it as part of the tour. We walked by a few money, but everyone was really there for the whale watching.
