Prepare for an exciting thrill ride! First, you take a fast boat ride out to the whale feeding area which is a protected sanctuary. Then, you get to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. As close to nature as you can get. A must-do for all animal/nature lovers, families, etc.

Went out on tour today (Sat 5/11/13) despite the overcast skies & possibility of rain at any moment and we are sure glad we did. It was very cold (at least for a thin blooded Florida girl) and sea's were about 5 feet. Luckily we do not get seasick but there were so many who did. After about a 75... More

The " cruise" to the natural reserve takes at least one hour each way with an hour in the reserve in sometimes very choppy seas. People were keeling over all around with seasickness and when the reserve was reached there was eventually a sighting of one lone whale which was not easily noticeable by many who were too unwell to...

( Easter Sunday) HOLY MOLY!!!! We saw so many hump back whales, minki... More

This was my first whale watching trip so I can't compare my experience to the 'norm'. The seas were rough (not the charter's fault) so the the trip was interesting. Even though the staff on the charter reiterated how important it was to take dramamine, nobody did. The entire trip was spent around vomiting passengers. It was horrific. My family... More
