Once in a lifetime whale tour - The whale and snorkel full day tour was incredible. Iker and Joaquin were great whale guides knowing exactly where to place us as the whales were breaching. The second half of the day was amazing as well thanks to Raphael and Tomati. Fresh locally caught fish and barbecue chicken on a secluded island where we got a chance to go in the water with stingrays. Also felt right at home as all of our guides were multi-lingual and very friendly. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Incredible experience but you need to be proficient snorkelers in the Ocean - The day couldn't have gone better. We had to catch a ferry to get there and the communication beforehand was great. The ONLY advice I would give is when they pick up, is to have a sign, so they can be quickly identified. Our guide/photographer Joachim was great and spoke fluent French & English. Clear expectations and rules. Be aware this requires someone who can swim a distance in the OCEAN. Incredible day!

To do once in a lifetime because it’s magic - Great excursion with our guide Johaquim! We were able to observe 5 whales and one calf is magical. On the other hand, you have to have a good stomach because there are hollows of 5 to 6 meters and many of us were sick on the boat but also in the water. You must also be able to swim well because you have to travel between 100 and 200 meters in the open sea.

This wss a wonderful... - This was a wonderful experience! Saw and swam with a humpback whale and calf. Water was rough, and lots of open water ocean swimming is required. Also had some snorkeling at a close in reef where we saw rays and black tip reef sharks. Highly recommend if you want a physical activity. Our guide, Joaguin, was very good!

The most perfect of days, in the most perfect of places. - The words I’m about to write will never ever do justice for the day my wife and I have just had. From the start of the day we knew we were in safe hands - Joaquin is so knowledgeable on what he does he has published books on the subject. There are some strict rules in regards to swimming ability and staying as a group, this can make you concerned but in reality it’s just what needs to be said for the generally dense public these days. My wife can swim fine but panics in the sea due to the waves etc. Joaquin provided a life jacket and we were able to do the swim holding hands so she was completely comfortable the whole time. (Do not be put off by the strong swimmer requirements, just ensure you have fit legs to keep up) We were fortunate enough to see 5 whales today. I can’t say how rare this is but the whole day from start to finish felt like a dream truly. We also opted for the lunch, on a private island beach, fresh bbq food, cooking class, surrounded by sharks and sting rays whilst we ate on a bench with our feet in the water. You really cannot do better than this tour. Book it now and book it early. Ps. They offer a wetsuit hire on the boat aswell as a video service that you can purchase at the end of the day. Judging by how close Joaquin got today I’m sure the video will be perfect.

It's a great experience, but it takes luck to get there. - Guide and other crew (5/5 stars): Professional and friendly Number control (1/5 stars): More tourists and fewer whale watching opportunities. There are always multiple whale-watching boats waiting in line on the same surface where the whales are seen, while regulations limit the number of visitors to the sea to no more than six, which leaves some tourists in the water to watch the whales while others have to wait on board for their next chance, reducing the chances of swimming with the whales Humpback whale (10/5 stars): It's a shock to see the beautiful giants in the sea, and the wait was worth it.

Awesome Whale Snorkeling - The captain and our guide/host Joaquin were great at spotting the whales and getting us into perfect position to get in the and intercept them for an unforgettable encounter. We got to see about 6-8 whales, plus a baby that decided to put on a performance for us.

Once in a lifetime experience - Excellent trip. We are a family of 4 (2 parents, 2 teens) and all enjoyed the trip. Enjoy Boat tours provided all snorkel gear and fins. By the way, full face mask snorkels are not recommended for this type of trip so we were happy to use their equipment. The staff were great, knowledgeable about whales and able to answer our questions. Constantly translating between French & English, they were able to communicate with everyone easily. As it was raining on and off, they went away from the storms and into calmer water. Communicating with other boats, we were able to see several whales while waiting for one to settle down so that we could swim out. The guides were kind and careful as we swam out and stayed with a whale, listening to his song for quite a long time. We were very happy!
