 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went whale watching today, had the most spectacular experience going. From start to finish, picked up and dropped off at hotel. There were 4 of us on the boat with plenty of space and feeling of a private excursion. Our guides were fantastic and kept us safe and informed throughout. Thank you Deborah and team. Do not miss this opportunity. Forget the rest, these are the best !!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went on the whale watching trip from Sal Rei and it was one of the most amazing experiences. For my first time ever seeing whales, the whole journey was filled with sightings and we even saw a mother and young jumping out of the water. The boat was lovely and the so were the staff, and we were only a group of 4 so it was much easier to get a good view!

Très bonne expérience, la personne qui nous a récupéré à l’hôtel pour nous ramener au port prendre le bateau pour voir les baleines était vraiment super sympa, nous a donné plein de renseignements sur l’île, elle nous a même fait un petit tour en voiture dans des endroits reculés. Je recommande fortement ✌️
