Whale watching with respect for nature - That was just great!!! The skippers were super nice. Only 8 guests on board and the best is the consideration of the whales and nature. Very carefully approach the sperm whales by boat. We would be lucky and could see 3 different groups of whales

Great experience - We booked the tour spontaneously two days in advance and fortunately got another date. We really liked the observation tour, our guide took a lot of care of the animals and we actually saw a humpback whale. On the way back to the port, numerous dolphins appeared, here too they gave us a lot of time to watch the animals

Breathtaking! - Breathtaking! Saw about 20 humpback whales. We could sail slowly next to it, making it even more intense! Also spotted some dolphins on the way back, where the captain found it no trouble to do an extra cruise for this. Definitely recommended!

sea walk - Have a nice sea walk. The sea was a bit rough and we didn’t have the chance to cross the path of the whales, but they decide! We still had the chance to see dolphins. The skippers were very serious and professional. See you again, no doubt.

Successful sperm whale observation 👍 - The goal of seeing sperm whales has been implemented. The crew was great and there was also a toilet on board.We were able to capture pictures and videos of several sperm whales. On the way back it got a bit cool so it was best to take rain gear. Would definitely book again👍👍

Take waterproofs as you will get soaked - Really good that we saw the whales but nobody mentioned that we would get absolutely soaked and they were aware as the staff put their googles On So if booking take waterproofs and a towel and water as we was not even given this until we got back . It was freezing out in deep Water and becUde of this I wanted to return back before seeing the whales and staff were obviously aware that peole got wet as on the way back told to remove life jackets to dry ourselves so not other customers could not see that we were all soaking wet

Disrespectful - We had an appointment at 10am on the pier for an excursion and see sperm whales, but Dolswim cancelled the excursion without telling us, not an email/sms or a call. When we didn't see anyone at the meeting place (after 1 hour drive), we called them (I don't know how much the call cost me but they don't care) and they told us that the excursion was cancelled "because of swell" when we had seen other boats leave. Finally no matter the reason for the cancellation, we should have warned and avoided this route in addition to disappointment. The only positive thing, we were refunded the fare of the excursion (still happy), but the extra costs we will not count on it I think. In summary: Unreliable and unsavory agency.
