Whale watching in Manuel Antonio?
 
It is a huge dream of mine to go whale watching, and I can't brave the cold temps of New England ;)
(Of course, my husband says he doesn't need to go whale watching when he can watch me swim anytime- isn't he evil!?!!?! LOL)
We'll be in Manuel Antonio in 4 short weeks- can anyone recommend a company to go through? The only one I've found so far is www.planetdolphin.com.
Thanks!

I went with planetdolphin. The skipper worked hard to find whales for us. We got very close views of grey whales and did some snorkelling.

Thanks Heather! What was your opinion on Planet Dolphin? Good times? There are five us us including my 55 yr old parents.
Also- did you see any good marine life while snorkeling? I'm a scuba diver, but I understand the diving is not very good around MA.

It was a fun afternoon but not spectacular. The snorkeling was mediocre. The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful. We had 7 people - 3 adults and 4 children.

We've gone whale watching near Monterey, CA which was very rough. This was much more pleasant.

Not trying to highjack your post, but whale watching off Cape Cod in the summer is awesome and WARM!! :) We'll also be in MA in 4 weeks, can't wait!
