Checkin and boarding was easy. The boat was clean. The cruise team were very helpful and knew there roles. The captain made every effort to manoeuvre the boat so that all passengers had the opportunity to view the whales which we did see. The morning tea and lunch served were also very good. Thoroughly recommend.
