Plenty of breaks, local merchant stops, photo ops and leg stretching ops along the way. Loved it!”

The VIP is well worth the cost for the one-on-one interactive tour.”

Plus they shared water during the sail. We saw whales immediately on leaving the harbor and the Captain did a great job of safely following blows and sightings. We saw breeches, flukes and fin waves, mommas and a baby. Additionally, the company worked with my husband and I when we had to reschedule due to some weather issues that affected our original date. Very gracious and accommodating. I would definitely recommend and definitely book this cruise again!!”
