Even though the whales were a bit shy and kept their distance, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The guide was polite, witty, and engaging without being intrusive. The program was well-thought-out and enjoyable, making the entire trip a memorable adventure. Everything was just perfect—highly recommended!

My friend and I had a great day out. We were fortunate to be the last pickup and first drop off meaning our journey was short. Breakfast was simple but nice. We saw a pod of 6 whales at one point and several others (or the same whales in smaller groups!). The boat wasn't too crowded and there was shade which was a relief. Lunch was tasty and freshly made. The views from the lookout point were good and it was nice to have some time to relax in the sun. Our guide was friendly and professional and impressed with his language skills.

We had an amazing day out in the bay whale watching. I was concerned we would not see any as we were the only boat leaving from Miches ( most tours go from somana) however We were extremely lucky to experience a young male humpback in close proximity. The tour didn’t encroach on the whale, we were watching from a respectable distance however, he took a shine to the boat, came in for a closer look and and gave us a special show for about an hour. Nature is unpredictable so it was a truly wonderful experience. The trip also took us up Montana redonda, the views from The top were spectacular. I chose this tour specifically as I wanted something different from the waterfall horse ride and it really delivered, The communication beforehand was excellent as was the driver and tour guide.
