We had a nice trip. The oragnisation was good. We was with the boat in the area where wales appears, and there was some humping wales. In future, I will not made wale watching again because other boots from other companies "hunts" the wale. I think a peaceful wale watching is ok, but to get nearer to the wale with fullspeed is not ok.

A truly exceptional excursion which allowed us to observe at best a dozen humpback whales! Everything was really perfect. Their presence, the boat, the atmosphere, the respect for the whales, the duration of the excursion. The only downside is the REAL mass tourism in Cayo Levantado. Excellent quality/price ratio as well.

The guides were amazing! My friend was very sick and they really took great care of her. Also we saw a lot of whales, so cool!

just great! we were able to see the whales! several even! the guide was great and the lunch buffet very good! I recommend!!!!

Unfortunately the weather was not great but the crew did their best
