This is so exciting! When we arrived at the boat we found the perfect seats and got ready with our cameras. I have to say we were sooo lucky, we could see a small group of dolphins and a couple of whales. Highly recommended.

It was our first time doing a whale watching tour so it was an amazing experience and can't wait to do it again!!! Maybe in another country or state, either way it's a great experience for everyone and kids love it!!! I do recommend you to go prepared with Drammamine if you have sea sickness. This is a 3 hour excursion but overall it was a smooth ride and they had a great snack bar aboard.
