We had a group of 8 and all felt as though we got more than our moneys worth on the excursion. There was a large group that did not make it so more staff to participants ratio was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and worked to make sure all questions were answered.

So much fun!! We saw whales on our way and back, so amazing. Stopped to enjoy the special sight. And Spinner dolphins, LOTS on the way back. Again slowed down to enjoy them but also got to watch them enjoy playing in our waves. The snorkeling site was beautiful, healthy coral and so many fish. Really nice crew, very grateful for all!

Our captain even went out of his way to follow the humpback whales and let us hang out with the spinner dolphins on our way to the snorkeling location. Excellent trip, only negative was that we rented a Go Pro and when we tried to use the dim card at home it was empty
