The island was beautiful and definitely the best part of the watch. We did, however, get a smaller boat than advertised, and even saw the advertised boat at the island. About half of the customers got motion sickness. We were happy to take the tour, but the boat change was unexpected and uncommunicated. We were told that we'd have a 40 foot Catamaran but ended up getting pushed onto a much smaller ship. We saw two whales for a moment, and that was essentially it. Over half the ship was vomiting the entire time
We saw two whales swimming side by side, which was exciting. However, I was very disappointed because I specifically booked the DDD Whale Watching tour after reading on their website that we would be on their “new 40-foot catamaran for a smooth ride,” as I get motion sickness easily. I took Dramamine as a precaution and felt fine while we were moving, but once the boat stopped to wait for the whales, the waves were extremely rough. While the company can’t control the ocean conditions, a larger boat would have made a big difference. Over half of the passengers were vomiting for much of the tour, which made the experience very uncomfortable. On a positive note, the island and the lunch were beautiful and were definitely my favorite part of the tour.
Needless to say that it was a great experience. Since you board the catamaran they take you to see whales and afterward you go to cayo levantado island to eat. And enjoy the beach. Beautiful by the way. *Eliseo is an awesome guide* He will take care of you.
We did a full day with whale watching and couple of hours on the beach in an usland near by Was perfect!! The staff was wonderful and mostly the manager!!! Not expensive, nice boat Really recommend!!
That was amazing day! We got private tour for two persons. Whenever we saw whales, our boat was the first to approach them. Fully recommended
