“Guides were friendly and helpful. Gave us all the information needed about the trip and about the Whales we saw. We saw lots of whales and much closer up than expected. There was a good selection of soft drinks, beer and sangria included. The meal was basic but good value for the price. Would definitely recommend! I wish we had bought cash to tip the guides at the end.”
