The trip was amazing, I do recommend as it was a fun day out and seeing the humpback whales was incredible. We all had a great time on the boat and the horses! However, here are some things to be aware of:
- The transfer did not message to confirm pickup time from hotel, however you can ring them to confirm. We got a message on WhatsApp from the driver in the morning to confirm the pickup too.
- The excursion was more like 13.5 hours as the transfer to the port is around 2 hours.
- Take plenty of dollars for tipping in small change. This is required for ranch handlers as they are volunteers.
- Take comfortable leg wear for the horse riding.
- Try not to sit at the back of the boat as the water splashes on to you from the roof.
- Take a poncho/waterproof for the boat. If not they sell them at the port for $5.
- The boat can be really choppy so you may get sea sick.
