It is always exciting to see the whales, it doesn't matter how many times you have seen them. When you snorkel on Cano Island you can sometimes hear them when you are underwater, just like they sound on the Nature films. It is a nice compliment that after two & a half weeks in such a beautiful country as Costa Rica we were the highlight of the trip. We are a great spot for photographers both professional and amateur, almost everyone is guaranteed some good shots. Thank you for your nice comments. Steven Lill owner/founder
