We missed the boat

I checked the info and website so many times to make sure we had to the correct time and location. We struggled to find the location & no where in any info did we see that we had to arrive a half hour early. Since that info was not there, I assumed they told us to be there at the time and would leave 10 or so minutes after. After struggling to find where to load, we were 1 minutes late and watched the boat depart. The clock on the wall at the booth was set faster than our cell phones. Total let down, my son was very disappointed.

Our trip was canceled and no one told us and I still haven’t been reimbursed the money I spend. We waited at the dock and couldn’t go on any other trips because everything was full.

Quite fun! Almost nothing like being on a boat on the ocean! Our boat offered beautiful views from above and below, and the onboard bar was not a a bad idea. We saw dolphins up close, and a couple whales from far off. Maybe we just got unlucky, if I had seen a whale up close I would have given 5 stars!

Guide was very informative and we did see several whales and calfs. Great experience well worth the price. Only suggestion is to add speakers to the side of boat so everyone can hear the guide. Thanks!
