Really great tour! Sofia (our guide) was super nice and spoke really good english. She was constantly making sure everyone was okay (the ride was slightly bumpy at some point) and knew a lot about the wild life! We were able to spot dolphins (of 3 different species) and a sperm whale.

I would go with them, they are nice people and seem like a fun staff (hence the two stars), but just learn from my experience: So I came here because I received a coupon from them at the airport in Pico upon arrival for 20% off and thought that was a good deal. I came in on a Wednesday and asked if I could book a tour for Sunday as it seemed the weather would be better then. They said they already had a boat chartered for Sunday and it was private so I could not come. Otherwise, they could try to open another boat for us but since we were only two, there was no guarantee it would fill up. They recommended I go the next day, Thursday, because they had a boat going out and it had room for us. I told them I didn’t think that was a good idea because it was going to rain. They checked their “forecast” and looked at me and said what was I talking about? Thursday would be nice. Maybe the afternoon not so much. I looked on my Apple weather app and only saw rain but they said their weather system is more accurate. So I went ahead and booked it. Come Thursday morning, we hadn’t even left the marina and it started to rain. The water was very choppy and it was windy. Because of all that, we saw no whales. Also, we weren’t “lucky” because that’s also a factor. However, knowing now that bad weather can diminish the chances of seeing what you’re paying to see, I would not have gone. They only told me that after; that sometimes rain and rough seas will make the whales stay under or away. Thanks for taking my money and wasting my time. I understand not seeing whales is not their fault or under their control but choosing to go out when they know chances are they will only be taking people’s money IS in their control. It’s noteworthy that we were the only boat out there on that morning. Seems like other companies knew better. Now I do too.

Such a great company. Sofia and Sergio were such wonderful professionals- knowledgeable, friendly and wanting us to have the best experience, all while being ethically sound and not disturbing the animals. It's a wild ride in the \Little Boy\ boat so hang on tightly! Definitely an experience we will never forget.

Great whale watching trip. The guide Christiana was very friendly and knowledgeable. We did the 2 pm tour with about 12 people in the smallest boat. The seats are quite tight but good enough for 3 hours. Only saw dolphins the first 1 1/2 hours but then saw 5 sperm whales and a fin whale. We even stayed out there a bit longer than planned to follow the fin whale around. Can definitely recommend the place. The rest of the staff was very friendly as well.

Simply the best! Year after year after year. Becomes like a second home. The owners are lovely people and all of the staff too. I have known them for well over a decade and have unforgettable memories with them out in the spectacular mid-Atlantic ocean.

We were blessed with a perfect day to go whale watching (which makes my rating a bit biased) and the staff were nice and professional throughout.
