Very nice trip looking for humpback whales - The trip was so nice, and the comments from the crew were amazing! Thanks to the great organization of the crew, we manage to see humpback whales.

Amazing !! - Most amazing trip! Alice was so lovely and gave us lots of knowledge about the whales and dolphins! We were able to see 2x Humpbacks, a Minke Whale and also lots of dolphins!! The boat was clean, staff were all friendly, wasn’t overcrowded like other tours we had seen! Would highly recommend using this company! Photos are amazing but don’t do the it any justice!

Beautiful except - We had a blast, I work in the North Sea thus have see a lot of these animals over my years, but my wife not and to see her face at seeing one was worth a thousand pictures. And the whale we saw was one of the largest I have seen. Beautiful experience

Great 😊 - This was so well organised - your guide was very informative. If you’re thinking of a smaller tour I wouldn’t bother as all boats were I. The same location . This tour ticketed all the boxes and the crew were great - make sure you wrap up warm if your outside but there is heating indoors 👍

So cool to see the... - So cool to see the whales, do not think you won't get sick and not take the motions sickness meds they give you. We took them and still got sick. They advise to get to the boat 30 minutes early, if you want a good spot I would recommend even earlier. It does get very cold so dress extra warm!

Was good but limited because they constantly moved the boat. - This was re-arranged due to bad weather. They gave us sea sickness tablets due to rough seas. When we first went out there was a safety briefing and then they explained how it would go and then we began to see dolphins. It seems to be that they angle the boat forwards so the whales and dolphins are always at front only -which means that most people on the boat dont get to see them what so ever because other people dont move to let others see them. This was very clear where young children couldnt see at all. So if you want to see whales, sit at the front to the boat or you wont really see much and get there really early (like an hour before)z
