    The whale-watching trip was fantastic. We actually saw whales. The guide's commentary was very interesting.

    We got to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity as the captain/guide moved to an area where there were 18 humpback whales in a feeding area so….there were whales in almost every direction we looked from the boat!
