We had a wonderful time. The crew was excellent and very friendly!! Gave great instructions to new snorkelers and was very helpful to all that asked questions. We saw whales going out and coming in. Last year we took their Historical Dinner Cruise and it was awesome. Enjoyed the food on both trips and the singer on the dinner cruise is super. We would highly recommend these adventures.
