Keep your expectations in check and you won’t be disappointed - Couple of suggestions : you might want to rename it Whale watching tour now that the puffin season ended almost 30 days ago. The whale sighting was pretty not do good with occasional minimal sighting of the same humpback whale. I wont fault you for that. Sighting is a matter of luck by chance. But setting expectations about end of season , while not commercially helpful, would have left the decision making based on right expectations. The guide, Gosha the marine biologist, was great
