Punctual departure and arrival times. We had the opportunity to see the humpback whales up close, we could almost touch them. They lent us suits to protect us from the cold and the water and offered us a hot chocolate. The guide was very good. Fantastic experience.

Pick up at the stop on time, good point. The tour includes a good and varied set of attractions to see near the capital. Friendly guide. I would recommend adding an audio guide in Spanish for this tour.
