    We went on the whale and dolphin tour. Risto was an excellent tour guide, he had loads of knowledge and made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. Bahia Adventures is a proper outfit with excellent facilities, we would highly recommend booking with them.

    Great experience. The guide and crew did a great job. We weren’t sure we would see any whales as the first sightings of the season were only the day before and far away, so we expected to have a long boat ride to get to where they had been spotted…but 20 minutes in and we saw them! First boat there. The driver was respectful and kept a good distance but also allowed us all to get as best view as he could. They also showed us around a cove and the guide was very informative about everything. And we stopped for a swim to cool off, and we’re given some fruit. Even in reception before leaving we had free coffee and some really nice banana bread. The guide was super friendly and kind too.

    Wonderful whale watching tour. The tour guide and sailors were fantastic and very knowledgeable. We saw the stunning coast line of the Marino Bellena National Park including some amazing rock formations. We were also lucky enough to spend time with a mother and calf humpback whales. It was amazing to see them and learn that the park was a nursery for the young while they get big and strong enough for their migration south. A great experience, highly recommend.
