The cruise was an all around amazing experience. The route is well planned to optimize the likelihood of you being within close proximity to multiple whales while still allowing you a waterfront view of many of the great sites on the bays of St John's. The mix of fog and clear whether my friends and I experienced helped further the magical draw of the tour, adding mystique and satisfaction in perfect juxtaposition. The amount of different whales and birds you can see alone is crazy. The true pin point that really kept the experience on a high note was the crew. Before we even left the dock they were quick to make sure you had plenty of sunscreen, something unaccounted for by my group and happily resolved by the crew. The sea shanties molded the overall mood of the adventures we were bounding toward. In those few small spurts where the sea air was chilling, various crew members were quick to bring around blankets and sacrifice their jackets. They all kept us alert to where we could best see the different creatures at any given time. They were very knowledgeable about the area and the history in addition to the various animals. My group was not aware of the experience that was being Screeched In until we were well out at sea, but the crew was very accommodating in allowing us to share in that experience despite no notification as such before departure. If you love seeing unique animals in close proximity, or if you love listening to cheery music and banter in a scenic environment, I highly recommend this experience.
