Reviews

Boat was a VERY rough ride, to the point where my partner and I had bruises all over the next day. As soon as we get on the boat and tell the crew we’re excited to see whales they tell us “it’s very unlikely we will”. Why did you call it a whale expedition if it’s highly unlikely to see the very thing in the title? The crew was very disengaged and more interested in talking to each other about how much previous guests tipped. I appreciate the company wanting to pick up trash from the ocean, but I was extremely sick from motion sickness (likely from how rough the boat ride was), and they continued to stop and pick up trash as I lay on the floor of the boat. I would highly recommend avoiding this company.

Si pudiera colocar 7 estrellas lo haría sin dudarlo, desde el principio el servicio fue claro y honesto, hasta el dia del tour ese día fue una de mis experiencias mas emocionante que he tenido con tiburones hasta ahora, pero lo mejor fue el servicio tan profesional de todo el equipo! Desde Manolo que me recibio y explico todos los detalles, pasando por la super capitana Emily la científica Rocky y mi héroe Emily quien se maneja perfectamente en las situaciones de crisis manteniendo el control y guiando de manera segura cualquier situacion en el agua, gracias muchachos uds son una pequeña compañía con un profesionalismo y entrega que envidian las grandes compañías, los espero en Aruba

I had a great time. The team is highly professional, prioritizing both safety and education, while also creating an unforgettable experience. I will do it again when I return to San Diego.

Super professionel and relaxed people. Safety first and all the patience and skill needed to attract first 3 blue sharks and then a HUGE blue shark. Can totally recommend these guys!!! And ohh… whales, dolphins and a Mola Mola. Best day at sea
