The Ultimate Experience
Ultimate is an understatement…this company always give you top notch experience and knows where and when to take you where you need to be!! Lacie and Lauren took us around the rain as to the best snorkeling spot. Then back around the rain and immediately stop when whales present. Positioning the boat in just the right locations. We ONLY choose Ultimate whale watching !!! Thanks guys…see you in a couple days for our VIP tour.
Great trip!
We have taken a snorkel and whale watching trip with this company several times over the years. They never disappoint. Captain Jill and crew Charlie were very knowledgeable and helpful. On this trip we got to snorkel in a new spot over off lanai. We saw two turtles and a lot of beautiful fish. The coral was bright and healthy looking! We then were on the hunt for whales. We saw a lot of mothers with babies this trip. We saw a mother breaching way up pretty close up! Overall another great trip with Ultimate Whale Watch and Snorkeling!
Informed and Sensitive to Impact on Whales
I chose this company because they seemed very attuned to environmental impact, and indeed, they were excellent. The captain was skilled at maneuvering the boat to see but not crowd the whales. The team of two women were well trained, well informed, kind and sensitive to our impact on the whales.
most amazing whales ever
