This was a very well-organised whale watching tour. The staff on board were very welcoming knowledgeable and concerned. We were not expecting much but what we received in terms of food medical supply, viewing was outstanding. This is a fabulous team who is passionate about what they are doing. They ensured that everyone on board had a decent viewing under challenging circumstances. We saw the Fin Whale and it was a thrilling, engaging and memorable day. Perfect in every way. Highly recommended.

We loved our experience! The guides were friendly, accommodating and honest. They made sure everyone was comfortable and able to see the wildlife. The guides emphasized that they respect and care a lot for the welfare of the animals, which we really appreciated. You can never guarantee what animals you will see but we were very lucky and able to be quite close to a Fin Whale. It was very special.

Our experience with this tour company was very good, and we felt very happy to choose them. They were always respectful with the animals, practicing and sharing the best way to approach them in a safe distance, not like other companies did… we had a wonderful time and could see fin whales and spinner dolphins, it was absolutely gorgeous! You could feel the experience and appreciation of the crew for their job.

We had a fantastic experience Whale Watching as a family of 5. (2A and 3C). Great communication in organising and transportation to the boat. I felt that my children were cared for and everyone was made to wear a life vest to ensure safety. Food on the boat was good. We saw around 12 Whales. The crew were considerate to the environment not getting too close, and sharing lots of great information with us. Thank you
