Great experience. Saw two whales.
These people saved my butt. I got a flat tire on the way to the meeting point, and they offered to change it out for me by the time I got back. Truly so kind, and I am very grateful. The tour itself was beautiful, with multiple whale sightings, and I thought the drone footage aspect was really cool and unique. You can take home a video of yourself on the boat, filmed from the air, and see what the whales look like from above. Amazing.
