Great staff, boat and whales!

Published on Jan, 2025

The NALA boat is beautiful and smooth sailing. The captain and crew provided great service and commentary on the cruise. We saw a humpback whale and sun fish. Great day to be out on the water!

2 hours of pure excitement. We missed our original scheduled time, but Emma was kind enough to accommodate us and we were able to get on the next tour.
