    I’d highly recommend this tour with Moto Marina Tours. It was very well organized and very professional. Also very easy to find the location. The tour guide gave us a lot of information about the whales, for English speakers as well. The next time I’d not book a tour to Levantado Island (Bacardi Island), just because the island was way too packed with people (maybe because we went on a Sunday) And also do your research on what the best season is to spot the whales. We did spot a female humpback whale with her baby, but it took us about 2 hours to find them. At the end we got surprised by some dolphins who jumped out of the water. Overall this was a great experience!
