Great whale watching - The weather was perfect for this trip. We saw lots of whales and some dolphins, puffins and birds. The sea was calm and it was a great time!

Great! Given the number of people that attended, there's a lack of reviews. - Seriously great energy from the crew. They have the other operators in communication to help increase chances of seeing whales. Didnt even have to keave the harbour before we started seeing whales, there were a handful of humpbacks which according to the guide was out of character fornthis oeriod of the year, they're normally further out. Boat was smooth and comfortable. Onboard bar and hot drinks at additional cost. It was great fun and I'd definitely go again. Only minor gripe the meetup point wasn't 100% clear on maps (turned out to be inside the pub).

Fabulous trip - we saw loads! - So firstly, we travelled with our three year old. As we boarded, we were shown a safe place to keep the pushchair. The staff got us a life jacket for our daughter but she was happy enough to stay inside 99% of the time. The boat was incredibly comfortable and prices on board were excellent (we particularly enjoyed the pot noodles). The captain was fabulous and made sure if he was able to see anything, he called it out straight away. The boat wasn’t packed unlike some of the other operators so it was nice to be able to walk about and not feel overcrowded. We saw a few whales and some of them got really close. My three year old loved it and it is a new core memory.

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
