Great experience. The guide and crew did a great job. We weren’t sure we would see any whales as the first sightings of the season were only the day before and far away, so we expected to have a long boat ride to get to where they had been spotted…but 20 minutes in and we saw them! First boat there. The driver was respectful and kept a good distance but also allowed us all to get as best view as he could. They also showed us around a cove and the guide was very informative about everything. And we stopped for a swim to cool off, and we’re given some fruit. Even in reception before leaving we had free coffee and some really nice banana bread. The guide was super friendly and kind too.
