Excellent trip on boat number 3! As with transport was quite expensive but definitely worth it. We saw whales and dolphins so were v v lucky. In Nov and good weather the chance for seeing whales 65 %. Dolphins 95%. This was evident as the day before they did not see any whales. The crew where great and tried v hard to get us the best vantage point . The boat could hold 10 people but we where not crammed in and only 6 on the boat which was great.
The private transport was great too. The driver stayed until we got back.
Not very descriptive in the detail of trip. If not on east side be prepared to get up v v early. Our pick up was 5.15 am. You set off in boat around 7am and you can not wear any shoes on the boat. Our boat gave us access to toilet and free drinks of water etc. Not sure if this is always case for the other boats. You try for whales first and this is out to sea (around 20 mins ) so quite choppy . They have a system where the boats split to locate them they also use local fishermen Info too . We where lucky and the fishermen told us where to find them so dropped on the site quickly. Had to wait around as the whales can stay under for 1 hour! But we saw around 15 whales in a hour period. Then came the dolphin stop. Be prepared to literally drop quickly of side of boat as the dolphins move fast. If you have your own fins etc I would take them. The fish / snorkeling last stop was ok but not the best area for snorkeling in area. We got back on shore at midday

Absolutely stunning trip, we saw a pod of 7 or 8 sperm wales that were around for a long time, then went off for a encounter with a large group of spinner dolphins before finally a bit of snorkelling over some coral.
To be honest after the wales everything else was just gravy, what a brilliant trip.
The crew were really helpful, and very funny.
Thanks very much.
