Hostess and naturalist Paola and Captain “Hollywood” provided us with a totally unforgettable experience! Even though it was theoretically past whale watching season, we wound up spending a good portion of the boat ride hanging out with a humpback whale and her calf, escorted by two dolphins leading the group and keeping a constant distance of 15 feet in front of the mama humpback. We saw rays and other fish jumping out of the water. Paola was delightful and unique in my experience in her combination of enthusiasm and passion for what she was doing and her naturalist knowledge, both of which she shared liberally with us. The sunset was gorgeous, the snacks were good, and the whole experience was both truly memorable and highly recommended!
