There be whales, Captain! - It was incredible. Our guide and pilot were excellent and professional and obviously love what they do. We saw 5 humpbacks and a few minkes and a dolphin. Dress warm and get a mug of hot chocolate to warm yourself afterwards.

Best day ever! If you are thinking about it…..book it! - Amazing tour, the initial trip was cancelled due to poor weather but the team were great in helping us rebook and it was well worth it!

What a fabulous experience - Very nice staff and loved the boat ride!! That was fun in Itself We saw 2 humpback whales and they have us some tail which was fabulous. I took so many pics and one of the staff also took pics that they’re sharing with the group which I thought was so very nice. Great experience and am glad I went with the smaller boat and this fabulous staff.

Amazing Experience, Great Crew - Amazing trip. The crew were so knowledgeable and clearly cared about the whales to the point they had named and could recognise them. Not only that they were excellent at finding the whales, we encountered two Minkies and also a Humpback which we got great views of from a close but safe distance. A brilliant experience from start to finish!

Definitely Worth The Price - This was one of the highlights of our trip! Being near water level and not sharing space with a lot of other people trying to see the same things made a tremendous difference when compared to whale watches we have done in other places. Watching whales breach from the 12 person boat is magical! And as a bonus, the RIB boat ride is fun on its own!

Cancelled trip - Trip was cancelled because of high winds and offered a ride in a bigger boat which was quite rough given the high winds and then we saw NO whales.
