Humpback whale and dolphins put on a show - Amazing adventure. Windy, rainy and choppy journey to find the sea life. The guide was informative and very patient. Soon we saw lots of white-beaked dolphins gambolling in the waves. Then just as we were about to turn back to port a beautiful humpback whale put in a show for us. For about 20 mins we were treated to an amazing display by whale and dolphins. Fantastic work experience!

Great tour dress WARM - Nice two hour cruise with knowledgable guide. We say whales and the operators didn't stalk them or get too close, which I saw some other tours doing. Two things for future travelers - 1) the trip check in is inside the old harbor restaurant. Definitely stop in afterwards for soup. 2) dress WARM. Like whatever you think is enough add another layer.

Beautiful experience - A really great experience. Whale watching is intriguing both from a scientific point of view and, in any case, at the level of simple curiosity

A nice 3 hour trip - The guide was super fun and he was very communicative! We also managed to see some dolphins and a whale and of course some cute puffins. Unfortunately everything bit from far away

Very very poor view - The view was very poor, I have seen 3 wails BUT they were very very far, barely you see them physically or there breathing. It is not like what you see in the photo's in the organizer website, there you see the wails just few meters (20 to 30 m) away from the boat BUT in reality it is about 500 to 600 meters, so it really difficult to see them I took some photo's BUT barely I can see the wail in the photo's even when I enlarge the photo Don't make a high expectation from this trip, at least as per my experience
