The tour delivered what is promised.

Great crew and guest recognition. Hot beverages offered to the seat, small snacks pass around and a cold dinner before returning. Most importantly, we did not have to wait to long for the first whale sighting and once we arrived at the second location, we were treated to a 1 hour plus spectacle of 2 adult whales. Non-stop splashing, breaches, tail flapping, what a beautiful show.
