We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain Dennis and Ricky! Out tour kicked off right away following a pod of whales bubble net feeding about 8 times in a row. Captain Dennis was a world of knowledge and gave an awesome show as he was able to know where the pod was headed when other boats had given up. Thanks again guys! Look forward to coming back next year!
