“Just amazing. Our guide explained everything we were seeing, including the geography. The Mayflower II was out in the harbor that day, very memorable. We saw 2 female pairs of Humpback whales, including the famous "Salt" who has been observed and tracked for almost 50 years. "Music" repeatedly slapped, clapped, and waved her huge dorsal fins. "Tripod" gave us a number of tail waves. Very comfortable ride in a lovely Catamaran. Everyone should do this!”
