Fue algo hermoso

Todo se alineó, el clima, el staff, las personas que fuimos ese dia y las ballenas. Las ballenas y sus ballenatos estaban de buen humor jugando y mostrandose todo el tiempo fue tan buen dia que vimos delfines y tortugas 🥰

A whale of a time!

Great cruise! The time allocation was perfect for a morning adventure. As a family we enjoyed the captain’s entertaining commentary and seeing whales so close was magical. Amazing staff made the trip very memorable!
