    We were able to see a family of pilot whales up close. The boat crew was super friendly at all times, even explaining things about the pilot whales. It's a highly recommended experience. Keep in mind that the trip is long and you may get seasick, but the experience is worth it.

    We really enjoyed the experience. The boat was quite large, with very clean restrooms, and the staff was very attentive to us. I highly recommend this tour.
