The crew was excellent, the captain was exciting and funny. Max was awesome. How he taught us how to sing the song of the sea from his ancestors. In the way he blew through the conch “shell” to summon the whales was awesome. I highly recommend the tour!

Worth every penny! Nate and Max, our guides were both knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We tracked a couple whales for about an hour and got the most amazing whale breech ever! Unforgettable experience!

Awesome crew! 10/10 recommend anyone going! We lucked out and had a small group on the boat which was nice and more private and the crew adjusted really well and made the most out of it for us!
