- Review from Viator
The sea was quite choppy. At check-in, they told us that the day was not the best for the trip and that we could cancel or postpone it. We still decided to take the evening tour to see the whales. Indeed, it was quite difficult. The boat was rocking a lot and there were waves that kept slamming us from side to side. Not recommended if you suffer from seasickness or if you are afraid of rough seas. I suffered quite a bit even though the experience was incredible: many whales even close to the boat, it was an amazing sight.
