Highly recommended - I like that they do not over pack there boat. I noticed that other whale watching tours from other company’s packed 20 people on there boat. We only had 9 passengers on ours.
Also, the biologist with the company was very knowledgeable and friendly. She answered all of our questions and gave us tons on information about the species we saw. We saw many sperm whales, beak whales (which are a rare site), a blue shark, and of course tons on Portuguese man-o-war.
Honestly, I would have booked another tour with them the very next day if I wasn’t leaving!

No whales, just dolphins - The staff is friendly. Our boat left 30 minutes late because the morning tour took longer whale watching. Our guide worked very hard communicating with the hilltop whale watcher to try and find us whales. We had no luck on our July 16 11:30 am four. We were told it’s better to go in the morning. We did see many dolphins. It is a 45 minute ride out with bumps along the way. If you are prone to sea sickness-DO NOT GO:). If you are large, it will be difficult to fit in the seats. You are straddled on a seat like riding a horse for the 3 hours. There is a restroom by the office to use before you depart. We brought a small backpack on board with snacks and water. They give you a raincoat to wear. We got slashed just a little bit. Overall, it was fun.

great - We saw 3 different types of Dolphin, a Sei whale and a blue shark, great to be out on the Sea for 3 hours in the sunshine, it may seem expensive, but if you like wildlife, give it a go, worth every penny.
