It is easy to book and collect the tickets. Highly recommended.
our guide was very informative and we managed to spot whales and one whale even did a backflip
Saw many whales during the trip, but they weren't kidding when they say the ride is going to be choppy. Many people were puking throughout. Good thing that the crew had sick bags to distribute. Great fun if you're not one prone to sea sickness.
