Just a fantastic experience - My experience with Harpa Yachts was absolutely fabulous! The highlight was our guide, Julian, who was fantastic at spotting whales with high winds and snow using just his keen eyes—no sonic detectors involved, making the experience feel more natural and respectful of marine life. The cosy atmosphere onboard was complemented by a lovely bar offering delicious hot drinks and snacks, which added to the comfort. The entire trip was well-organized and truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy whale watching in a sustainable and relaxed manner! We got to see many whales in December, which was brilliant. The tickets are collected in a pub by the harbour and there is someone their helping you .

Rebecca, Guide at Harpa Yachts Whale Watching Knows Her Stuff! - Rebecca, the tour guide on this chill day, went above and beyond. If it's this good in December, can only imagine how thrilling September must be!

Great afternoon whale watching - We had a lovely clear day and managed to see 4 whales on our trip so we were very lucky. The crew were helpful and knowledgeable. The boat is lovely and not too big. Good choice of refreshments. Great trip

Lovely tip on a lovely boat - Lovely comfy boat which was well heated with a bar area. Very knowledgeable marine biologist on board giving information throughout. We saw the whales and they were spectacular. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing time! - What an amazing experience! Make sure to dress warm! This excursion requires patience as we have to wait for the animals to come out. Beautiful sites to see! Such majestic creatures, and some curious seals also. Please don’t expect any SeaWorld like tricks because you will be disappointed. These are beautiful creatures in their natural habitat!

Whales! - Fantastic trip. Small group rather than the packed larger boats. Well organised, informal and we got to see whales. Would highly recommend to anyone

Good experience, but far too cold in November - We got moved onto a different and less comfortable boat, which also made the journey colder. We did have to spend quite a lot of time on the inside of the boat as it was far too cold outside on the top deck, and it was still quite cold inside. We saw some whales, which was obviously amazing, but if we were to do this trip again, we would not do it in November, or we would pick a supplier that offered warm coats or full suits, as even though I had two layers of trousers on, and a hoodie and big coat, I was still very cold

Not a yachtctrip - Exactly what I wanted to avoid BY booking this trip. We booked a yacht cruise to limit numbers and have a comfortable experience. This was far from that Approx 100 people on board a larger boat that had room for 50 indoors on a cold windy day. Same as other cheaper trips offered and a disgrace. There were 2 other boats out at the same time and the trips were cheaper We saw 3- 4 Whales time and time again sort off as the boat was so busy only the people at the front could see There were people stood on seats and tables on the top deck.. very unsafe It was EVERYTHING I try to avoid and did by booking a yacht trip... and I didn't get it Refund requested
