Overall rating

We drove ourselves to the harbour, so I cannot speak to the shuttle, but the guides were very nice and knowledgeable and the food was fresh and we got to see many dolphins and turtles, so very happy there. It was cozy on the boat, but totally fine once we arrived to our snorkeling spot and lots of entertainment during the rides, so overall a good experience.

The crew were fantastic, engaging, helpful and very knowledgeable. Watching the mother and her calf spout and following them for so long was an incredible experience, especially when the adult dived and we saw the full tail fin out of the water.

I’m terrified of heights, so found it very scary, but I was with my two daughters who had an absolute blast! And even though I was terrified, I would do it again. Highly recommend.

Fantastic cruise. We saw so many whales and two came up right next to the boat. Really pleased I chose one of the smaller boats. Highly recommend this cruise.

Great experience, helpful staff! Good value as your up in the air about 1 hour! Highly recommend!
