And the driver was very nice too

The crew was great and explained things well. We saw an amazing whale breaching and waving with his tail. We saw dolphins on our way back.

I was very excited about this and did not mind putting out the money because this is an experience that I have been dying for! Unfortunately we saw next to nothing besides possibly Whales off in the distance.
The guys were great and they tried to keep it upbeat but it was very disappointing and it's definitely not worth putting out the money. It's a gamble and if you don't see and swim with the Whales you still are out of all the money that you spend. Nothing is offered back to you. Really a let down 😔

This was a boat tour on a pontoon boat without any safety considerations. The two very young men operating the boat took us into significantly dangerous and rough water and laughed over and over as they took the boat airborne by increasing the boat speed. This is an unsafe operation and the men who operate it do not care.

Absolutely to most amazing experience of our lives. We thought viewing the whales from the boat was a great tour... and then they pulled out the snorkels and fins! We got into the water and snorkeled right beside the whales. The guides told us we had a remarkable day by even their standards. Started out being picked up at our resort by the boat. That was nice not to have to get to the town. We started by finding a male humpback who would surface, spout, and then go back down. He would sing and we could hear it even over the boat motor and without the hydrophone. I thought it was the boat squeaking at first, but guide suddenly got excited when he heard it. The male was directly below the boat calling out. After positioning us and briefing us on local rules about interacting with the whales the guide got in the water and headed to a viewing spot. We each swam out to spot the view. Some got to see the whale up close, but I was one of the last to swim over and he was gone by the time I got there. : ( So we got back on the boat and tried to see him a few more times... but murphy's law, a big cargo ship and catamaran came buy (which whales do not like btw), so we missed getting to see him. We got back on the boat and then the male humpback showed his displeasure with those big boats by launching into the air... OMG it was so awesome, and so mad I didn't get the picture. He splashed down with thunderous boom and then proceed to slap the water with his pectoral fins (see pictures). That fin was over 16ft in length, even though it doesn't look that big in the pics. After this we went out on the reef a bit and came across a momma whale and her calf. This is where amazing starts... I would have been completely happy giving five stars on this tour just from seeing the male and his antics, but the guide was determined to find us a good view. We got situated with the momma and her calf and into the water we went. This time, even though I'm an old blind fart, the guide took and pointed directly at where the whale was and I got a beautiful view of both the calf and his momma from about 30 yards just swimming along in the ocean. He then proceeded to take us swimming along with the whales until they took a rest. We stopped and floated there watching when the calf took an interest in our group and swam straight up to us. Now of course momma whale wasn't sure what we were about and so she had to come over too. A 30 ton whale coming directly at us. Needless to say, I think I added to the amount of liquid in the ocean at that moment. Right before the momma would have run into us she turned and got a good look at us with that huge eye. She could have easily smacked us with her tail, and I was sure we were going to get hit, but she curled it up and went by us at about 3 feet... OMG I was frozen stiff in disbelief at what had happened. The momma whale just hung out there right beside us until the calf lost interest and swam off to his next adventure. Absolutely the most amazing experience of our lives and something we'll treasure forever! We got sooooo much more than we paid for on this tour. I know they said ours was a very rare occurrence and not everybody get the type of interaction we did, but I can also say we wouldn't have gotten it without the hard work and dedication of our BOA guide and Captain! They were determined to make sure we all got an interaction and I give them six stars!!!! Oh, and if that's not enough... they give you all the equipment you need, drinks, snacks, and towels too. Really a complete experience. Great job BOA!!!!

Superb excursion with passionate and attentive guides. Rodolf and the captain guided us to the experience of our dreams: we swam with a humpback whale and its baby! A magical and unforgettable moment! THANKS!

Our guides did a great job locating dolphins and whales! We saw 4 whales - a mother and her baby! Would have like to have known the boat needs to stay far away and more swimming would be needed to get closer. We ultimately decided to stay in the boat-it was still awesome!

Did whale watching and a two tank scuba dive with this company and they were great. Scuba diving instructor was super cool and made me feel confident as a novice diver who hasn’t geared up in about a year and treated me like an adult while still ensuring i was doing okay and comfortable. It was just four divers with the dive master and both dives were not difficult at all. No current and we saw tons of eagle rays, sharks, an octopus, and plenty of other reef fish.

Whale watching was wild, our first two hours we struck out hard but the crew of two worked their tails off to find some whales and after spotting some in the distance a few miles away we gunned it over there and saw about 7 whales jumping like crazy, sperm whales swimming, etc for about an hour. Unfortunately they were going too fast to swim with só after awhile it was time to go back. Then wouldn’t you know it, as we were on our way back to be dropped off at the hotel already past our time we found a calm family of two adult and one baby humpbacks and we swam with them for about 30 minutes which was incredible.

Obviously they can’t promise you’ll see whales every time but i can guarantee these guys will at least give it their best shot for you.

Everyone super nice and fun with the company.if I’m ever lucky enough to come back I would gladly book all my tours with these guys again.

While we did not spot any humpback, our guides were in constant communication with other boats and gave their best effort. Animals are unpredictable. We saw flying fish, bottlenose dolphins, tuna leaping for smaller fish, and numerous birds. We watched the ocean for four hours, but no luck with the whales. I would definitely try again on my next trip.
