We watched a mother whale and her baby sleeping. We could hear them breathe. However, taking a photo at the right moment was not easy.
We had champagne, beer, and water to drink. The snacks were completely gluten-free, as we had specified beforehand. There were rice crackers, ham, salami, cheese, olives, carrots, celery, and dips. They even showed me the packaging again. Booking a tour here in Australia is easier for us because we don't have to worry about food.
