Whale watching experience of a lifetime!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was one of the best excursions I have ever been on. Miguel and Rafael were amazing guides and were able to show us many whales as well as several dolphins. As a bonus, they were able to find us a couple of whales that were curious enough to come right up to the boat. This will be a cherished family memory for everyone. Highly recommended!

Hands down the best whale watching experience. Not only did we luck out and see a ton of whales, flukes, head slaps, pectoral slaps and full-on whales jumping completely out of the water, we feel that having a tour led by the marine biologists enhances the experience. The price was a very good value as well! 100% recommend. Cynthia and Astrid were amazing leaders.

A Truly Wonderful Experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Maggie and Martin went out of their way to make this a truly spectacular adventure. Our experience started with a short but nicely detailed presentation on whales, then off to the boat we went. The boat holds just the right amount of people for you to have a personalized experience. Maggie’s descriptions of the behaviors we observed turned a normal sightseeing trip into a deeper understanding of what we were seeing. By the time our tour was ending the only behavior we hadn’t seen was a breach, and sure enough one was spotted on the way in so Martin veered back into the bay so we could view it up close. What a thrill! This tour offers you the maximum bang for your buck.

Exciting tour with an informative guide!

Published on Dec, 2024

The whale watching tour was definitely a highlight of our trip. Cynthia was our guide and she was so knowledgeable and provided all information in Spanish and English. Our group of 10 people was a perfect number for this tour as we all had a chance to see the whales without it being too crowded. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the whales before heading onto the ocean. When we saw whales, Cynthia and our captain (Rafa - I think) were very respectful and kept the tour fun. They seemed just as excited as us to see the whales. We saw 13 whales! It was a great time to go as it is the start of their mating season, so the males are competing for the females and putting on quite the show! We would recommend this to anyone.
