This whale watching tour was THE BEST. The captain was hilarious and so fun. There was never a rush to get back to the marina, I’m pretty sure he would’ve stayed out all night with us to see a whale. Luckily he found them within 20 minutes and we saw tons and he got us close to them. On the way back in he stopped and took his time to show us some dolphins. Such an amazing experience and I couldn’t recommend Hang Loose more.
