Highly recommend this cruise!
Enjoyed the commentary on the boat. Heard about some great walks and beaches to check out. The grandkids loved the whole experience, the sea life and the swell ! Learned some interesting facts about different sea animals too.

No whale spotted but they have re-cruise voucher which is a sign of good customer experience . Weather was pretty good plus the viewing scenery was good. The experience was best but unfortunately we weren't able to see any of the wildlife which was a disappointment
