Amazing experience! Thank you to our guides were Remi and Arii for making this a memory we will have forever! We saw and swam near 2 whales. Watching them come up for air while we were swimming near them was my favorite part!!

Great adventure onto the open ocean just beyond the reef. We got to see a number of breaches by whales from a distance a hundred to three hundred yards. We understood going in that there is always a chance of not getting lucky in seeing any whales but we did get to see some activity. The guides were knowledgeable and explained a lot about the whales. We did get to see some dolphins too and some flying fish. Only a few lucky groups get to be overwhelmed so keep your expectations reasonable and it will be a good 3-4 hour experience
