Traveler reviews
“It is very enjoyable. Our guide Crystal was EXCELLENT. There is the chance you won't see any whales but we was fortunate to see a baby and the mother swim right beside the boat. Highly recommend the tour. ”
“The excursion was the best time we had in the DR. Saw plenty of whales and then enjoyed an amazing beach and good food! I’d recommend this whale watching tour to anyone and the best part about it was there wasn’t any wasted time getting on the boat. Other boats had big lines and a wait before they went to the boat. We got off the bus and went straight to the boat and left while others didn’t even move. A++”
“Our boat was an hour late in coming. Trip cut short and not enough whale watching time. Only saw a two. Not worth the 2 hour bus ride each way and 2 hours on the beach and hour wait. Only spent about 1/2 hour looking for whales.”
“Wonderful day in the ocean. The whales were impressive and the crew very attentive. Undoubtedly, an experience I recommend to everyone.”
“The thrill of seeing whales in their natural environment is indescribable. Thank you to Bacardi for making this wonderful experience possible.”
