Great trip very rough but that’s the chance you take they did find whales and one jumped right in front of us and a couple more very close by. Too rough to swim but still good. Guides were good and knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful morning on the water! The guides Doc and Malakai were absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable and experienced with what to look for with whale signs and once we spotted them, they were patient and wise with watching their behavior first, and respect for the animals, before getting us in the water. Observing their behavior was super important in order to predict the whales next move and I believe it’s because of our guide’s knowledge that allowed us to get up close to the whales with a once in a lifetime experience. We had such a beautiful moment.
We also forgot rain coats and during the rainy ride out there, they provided us with spare raincoats which was a relief. Obviously there’s some luck involved in seeing whales based on their movement and weather but today was epic on this tour.

We had problems with our go-pro, but one of the crew members had one and was filming . We were even asked our agreement to be filmed. We kindly requested to have a copy of the video, even offered to pay for it, but they refused and said they would only post it online . But 10 days later still no video and no further answer to our request. This company is more interested in taking your money than in giving you a good service.
