Great morning on the water.
Great bits of commentary along the way.
Even learnt some of our local history that I didn’t know!

The experience with CoastXP was wonderful. There was nice music, a good tour guide who had an ocean of knowledge. Ranging from types of whales, where they come from, how they live, how to spot them and much more. The boat trip itself was worth the money and more so. Will go again and I highly recommend

Brilliant morning!! Worried we wouldn’t see any whales as swells were quite high, but we did. And it was amazingly beautiful & all I hoped for. Incredibly lucky to see a whale breach too. Awesome
