Went Neil's Harbour yesterday for an awesome whale watching trip. We went out with our teenage girls and they loved every minute of this experience. They thought it felt like a great roller coaster ride. We saw a leatherback turtle, fin whale, and lots of dolphins. He took us on an amazing coastal ride ending in a cave.. At the... More
