    We went out with my sister, it was amazing to see these beautiful creatures, they are so majestic... It is a unique opportunity and privilege to have such an experience. The advantage of sailing and that we are slow pace, in silence, and lulled by the comings and goings of the waves we can fully take the time to enjoy the show!! Thank you Mori Ora

    During this sailing tour, we had the chance to observe the whales from the sailboat striking the pectoral and caudal, it was an unforgettable moment which in addition to that was commented on by the guide naturalist present on board. A real plus which allowed us to understand the mysterious world of whales, it was fascinating! Sailing is a real plus which allows you to approach animals in a respectful and ecological approach.

    Getting on and off the sailboat was trash in itself. Driver hit another boat with the dingy on our way to the sailboat. Got to the sailboat which looks like it's been through 3 hurricanes. There is absolutely nothing luxurious about this boat. No padding so our butts hurt the entire time. Also, an alarm on the boat kept going off every 20 mins. Had to watch the whales from a far distance and had to use my cell phone to zoom in to see them. I could've done that from my Airbnb. The snacks and alcoholic beverage weren't given to us until 30 mins prior to the end of the excursion.... after 5.5 hrs of starving ... it's time for dinner. The people were nice but for $850 it was a rip off. If you want to watch the whales .... do it with a different company.

    We were received by a crew with great care... for a whale-hunting Check-out. The lack of launching was more than compensated by a friendly and playful atmosphere. Nothing escapes us from the history and complex life of these wonderful animals. Thank you again.
