“Excellent tour which was a quick walk from the cruise port. Our guide Sergi was knowledgeable and we felt very safe with the Captain too. We saw many humpback whales and learned a lot about them! Highly recommend the RIB boat which could get closer to the whales and move much faster!! Really was ‘express’”
