Amazing experience, would definitely recommend.

I would definitely recommend this tour and would book with them again. I liked that we were on a smaller boat, and we were able to get close enough to get amazing views of the whales. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

GREAT WHALE WATCHING WITH LOS VERANOS TOURS

We went on a whale watching tour (3 hours) with LOS VERANOS TOURS, it was a great experience. The guide (Benji) knew his stuff...so informative. We came back from that tour with knowledge that we did not have before, and saw a total of 7 whales during our tours.... we were very satisfied with our experience.

Such an experience with so many whales

We have done several whale watches in Alaska but wanted to experience the experience in a warmer climate with different behaviors. It was an amazing experience. We saw a mother and baby, many whales close up. The males trying to “impress” the femaies created a unique dynamic. The guide was excellent and explained what we seeing and why. We came in on a cruise ship but booked direct with them. Communication was excellent and we knew exactly what to expect. The meeting and departure point was right at the cruise terminal which worked great for us.

The Best Whale Watching Tour

We had the most amazing time on our tour. I can't recommend this enough. Benji was our tour guide and I can imagine a better tour guide. He was happy, funny, insightful, and friendly. Our boat captain did a great job putting us on the whales even paying attention to the sun so that photos would not be looking into the sun. If anyone is looking at other whale watching options, stop, this is the one. The boat is perfect size to be maneuverable enough to get close to the whales, the guide is THE BEST, and all the small details are taken care of. Truly a great experience and a must do for anyone in the area during whale season.
