Overall Rating
4.42
It was nice. Server was excellent and very friendly.
Reviewed by: Margaret Gagnon, 2017/12/22Saw several whales, good photo opportunities, nice music, food was okay, and accommodations were good in spite of rainy, overcast weather. The photos for purchase were overpriced.

Mixed feelings...
Reviewed by: Kim, 2017/01/13Let me start by saying that everyone was so friendly. My husband was here on a business trip so I came to do this tour on my own. The free transportation they provided went very smoothly. Pick up from my hotel and drop off at the end. One of the reasons I picked this tour group was the guarantee to see whales. Upon arriving, they welcome you and let you know where the lunch buffet is and that you can sit on any floor. The weather was beautiful and the sailing was very smooth. Unfortunately, there were no whales or aquatic life to be seen. At the end of the tour I was given a voucher to come back another day. I came back the next. Unfortunately again, I had the same experience. I found out later from locals that it's hard to see them in major boat trafficking areas. So while I didn't get to see any whales or aquatic life, the trip itself was nice. I was able to converse with other travelers and have some nice water time.

Whale watching
Reviewed by: Shawna, 2016/01/30We saw a family of whales on our trip! It was a good day out although I think it would be better to see them on another island....

Good tour but didn't get close to the whales
Reviewed by: Clayton, 2016/01/17The tour was professionally organised and well run. The boat provided plenty of viewing opportunities for all onboard. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We found some whales but didn't get really close (which was the only downside).

Great service
Reviewed by: Emily, 2016/01/06Service and crew were great! Saw a couple humpback whales swimming from a distance. May have not been late enough in the season to see as much as expected.

Navatek whale watch
Reviewed by: Mary, 2015/04/21End of season for whale watch so we didnt get to see one but it was lovely just to cruise around the ocean. Nice weather on that day. Free transportation pick up and friendly staff. Got free re sail voucher but upgraded mine to atlantis submarine which was amazing to see things underwater. Will sign up to this in the future again

Whale Watching
Reviewed by: Exhausted Four, 2015/03/05Fabulous weather and sightings more than we could count, including turtle! Food geared more for oriental tastes. Even though guides tried to control crowds for eating, it was caos! Bring your own food if you have specific needs or tastes. Crew friendly and helpful. Conservationist on board VERY knowledgeable.

We saw whales
Reviewed by: Karen, 2015/01/17They prepared us by saying its early in the season you may not see anything, we did - a group of whales which we followed around. We didn't see a full breach but you can't have it all! Its exciting, you will be some distance from the whales but there's still a thrill when you catch sight of them. Good value. I'm glad we just did the tour and not the buffet - not sure I would bother with that.

Whale Watching
Reviewed by: Linda, 2013/01/01I was eager to partake in the Whale Watching Cruise, my husband joined in because he knew it was something I was keen on doing. I had high hopes & admittedly was disappointed. We saw numerous 'blows' but from a great distance, two flukes & one dorsal, again pretty far away. I realize there is no guarantees ~ I guess my expectations were unrealistic & the boat could not get too close for the safety of these beautiful animals.
I found it interesting & sad that family groups on the tour often were too busy on their iPhones, Game Boys etc., to bother going on deck ~ why did you come?? Leave the electronics at home & enjoy nature!!

Interesting and Fun
Reviewed by: Island Visitor, 2012/03/19I think the whales were sleeping that morning of my cruise, but we did see some activity - although not much. The cruise guarantees a whale sighting and that happened, but would have liked to see more than a few spouts, humps, and one tail. But, as guaranteed, we saw a whale so we got what we paid for. Sometimes, it's just luck of the draw. Well worth the trip, and would do it again (hoping for more activity next time!!).

whale watching
Reviewed by: hb, 2012/02/27This was my first experince whale watching, had a blast! We were able to see 5 whales! After the boat was returning to shore, I went to the back of the boat and saw another whale. We did the Breakfast Cruise, water and coffee are free, everything else is a charge. Be one of the first ones outside, so you can have a good veiw by the railings. Also you will be standing outside on the deck to see the whales so be prepare as it is windy. I did enjoy that the naturalist on board was very informative about whales, she gave us lots of clues on what to look for when whale watching. I would recommed to this Cruise early on you vacation so as you travel the island you can find your own whales!

Enjoyed the time with you
Reviewed by: Jerry Herberger, 2011/02/19While it was a very successful trip, viewing is still somewhat limited. I love your having a professional photographer on board who got us great pictures of the whales. I would like to be able to get a flashdrive or have the pictures emailed to me for printing on higher quality paper. But overall a very good experience.

Great Times
Reviewed by: Bahama Mama, 2011/01/07My husband really enjoyed the trip. We actually did have some whale sightings, so our expectations were met. I got a little sea sick but the staff was more than helpful and I would definitely recommend this excursion to everyone:)

Whale Watching
Reviewed by: VMJTexas, 2010/03/26I wish the whales had been more active. Whales aside. The food was great. The boat was unique. The water was incredible. An all round good afternoon.

Had a GREAT Time!
Reviewed by: Rubin & Bridget, 2008/02/15The whale watching was GREAT! The whales were active and acting as if they knew we were there to see them. From reading other comments, we thought we were not going to see any whales or they would not be as active as the pictures show. But, they were definately right on time! Plus, the lunch they served on the boat was good. For the price you pay, you will get your moneys worth and certainly enjoy yourself. I would recommend this activity to anyone that enjoy whale watching, especially on a nice boat.
