DO NOT BOOK IF PRONE TO SEA SICKNESS. The tour guides were excellent, lots of facts and their safety explanation was friendly towards children but if you are at all prone to seasickness- do not do this. I usually have moderate sea sickness but I felt awful on the cruise, missed out on actually seeing most of the whales (I think our boat was following 2 of them?) because I was feeling really poorly, despite taking tablets an hour before. The staff gave out sick bags etc but I would say if you are prone give this one a miss!
I saw a small whale and its tail only. Unfortunately, the big one didn't show up.
Saw lots of whales. Very helpful crew. Water was very choppy though.
