Traveler reviews
Whale watching fun. Verify with the company that you are getting what you expect.
Fun experience with a great captain and crew pointing out the prime viewing spots. Only downside was that we did not ride on the catamaran as advertised and purchased but a double decker larger boat. Upon boarding we were told they don't use those boats in the afternoon. Felt like false advertising.
The captain did a great...
The captain did a great job finding whales for us to see. The crew was excellent and so was Marta taking pictures. We purchased the whole package which included her pictures of the whales.
Get rich on the switch
Booked a trip for my family on the Malolo. Went to harbor and was given directions to get on the Quicksilver. I asked one of the workers that I expected the Malolo. Was told that that was weird because that boat is typically used for snorkeling in the mornings - not for whale watching. We were on their “booked” list so we went. The Quicksilver had over 100 people. If you’re lucky you’ll be one of the first on board and you will get in the front on top or main level. If your luck is average you’ll get top middle. My family got stuck in the bottom deck rear. Most the whale watching was done behind dirty windows with the back of peoples heads in the way. NOT WHAT I BOOKED. They definitely pulled a fast one. They already had my money so why should they care. Buyer be ware!
Fantastic 2 hour whale watching
Sooooo amazing! Well worth every penny. Great whale watching - superb and fun crew. Knowledgeable staff - not too cowded. Safe on the bay - relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. Would do it all over again.
Worth the time and money
