    I’ve always found whales very strange. Even though I knew a lot, I still learned a few more things. I love nature. I believe my own life has improved more while watching them.

    The snorkeling trip to Cano Island was fantastic! Itā€™s a beautiful ride out to the island (about 1-1:20hr ride) but can be a bit rough for those who might get sea sick. The snorkeling visibility was excellent. Jellyfish were a bit of a nuisance. Nothing more than little, quick stings but irritating for those not prepared for it. Wearing long sleeve shirt/rash guard is very helpful. The guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. We saw a ton of sea life, including multiple sea turtles. After snorkeling, there was a report of whale sightings so we bypassed getting off on the island, ate a quick lunch (which was fantastic!) and went to see a mama humpback and her baby! Awesome day. Would highly recommend!

    We went on the whale and dolphin tour. Risto was an excellent tour guide, he had loads of knowledge and made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. Bahia Adventures is a proper outfit with excellent facilities, we would highly recommend booking with them.
