Absolutely fantastic boat ride! - We rented the ChicaFUN 2 for a 4-Hour Private Tour for 16 friends celebrating a 50th birthday together. The whole experience was FANTASTIC! The boat was in great shape and plenty big enough for our group. It was comfortable with tons of space for lounging in the sun or in shade. The slides and jumping platforms were a blast, and the floating beds provided much entertainment. But above all was the staff! They were extremely attentive, and no one was ever thirsty for more than 5 seconds before a fresh drink was placed in your hand. We got tipsy, but they put up with all our silly nonsense with no judgment. They were friendly and funny and made the experience over the top awesome. We would absolutely do it again.

Whale of a good time! - The excursion was amazing! The crew was very accommodating and knowledgeable and entertaining. They served us delicious food and all you wanted to drink. We sailed until we found whales and then had plenty time to enjoy the performance they put on. Would highly recommend this trip.

Whales, Good food, Great crew. - The crew was extremely helpful and nice from the moment we arrived at the dock. They answered all our questions and we set sail right on time. The crew helped everyone get on board, and we set sail. We just got out into the harbor, and the captain said whales at 2:00 (using a clock for direction). It was almost as if he knew where they were going to be. We saw quite a few whales breach the water, we saw them spray water into the air, and then we would see their tails. One came out of the water in front of us and splashed down. Beautiful. The crew was great, they constantly asked if we wanted drinks, bottled water, or food. They served for lunch a tuna ceviche and guacamole on the side, and both were very good. They had a main deck, and then you could also go upstairs to a deck. The views from both were great. Our boat was not crowded at all. There was no shortage of drinks either. I would certainly recommend them, and when we come back we will book these guys again.

Comfortable, fun boat and excellent service - The trimirand boat was so comfortable and there was plenty of space and shade. We had a great time and the kids loved seeing the whales. We saw a few dolphins from afar. We all enjoyed a bit of time on the water slides and swimming off the boat. FYI, the food was fairly minimal--a breakfast plate of mini muffins and cut fruit, plus potato chips. I recommend bringing a few snacks. The service was excellent--there was ample staff who repeatedly asked us if we wanted anything. Overall, we had a great experience.

Whale Watching in La Cruz Mexico - My brother, my sister in law and myself joined this excursion early on a Monday morning on Boat #1 boarding at La Cruz Marina. From the very beginning we had a great experience. Every member of the crew were friendly and attentive. The tour was well organized. We were greeted with an individually served continental breakfast and from there the drinks began to flow. Our tour included a couple of snacks during our voyage including ceviche, guacamole and chips. We enjoyed the water slides and flotation toys. We even got to see some whales!! It was a great experience and I would do it again. Thank you crew of #1 boat. We had a wonderful day
