Super! - That was really great! Have already seen a male humpback whale although it is only early in the season. On the way back there were still dolphins to see for luck. The guides were great, paid attention to safety and distance from the animals and explained everything well. We were only closed with four other guests and the guides on the boat, which was very pleasant. There were also drinks. But you have to be aware that you are not alone there. Partly 8 boats were there at the same time to look at the one sleeping whale. However, our boat kept a lot of distance and respect and therefore it was okay for us.

A beautiful morning spent observing these beautiful mammals - Thank you for an amazing tour. We had lots of fun watching female whales with their young. Guides gave us lots of information and were very respectful towards these amazing mammals. We were told from the beginning that they wouldn't let anyone swim with the whales. Would definitely recommend them on just this factor. Other tours allowed lots of tourists swim and this stressed the poor things which is very selfish.

Perfect trip - Many thanks to the great crew. We had a wonderful trip and saw two female whales with their calf and a bull. The crew was very respectful and did not allow to swim with the whales as other excursions did. Our kids were deeply impressed.

Beautiful discovery of sperm whales - We saw 5 to 6 sperm whales, including 2 babies It was very beautiful Too bad some tourists dive with it and approach them very closely which frightens them

Whale Tour 03/2025 - The providers offer space for max 6 people on the boat where at the beginning it is pointed out how the tour runs . During the tour on the way north have been able to see for around 10 sperm whales , by and large this is really a nice tour

Highly recommended - Great excursion and beautiful animals seen. The sperm whales put on a nice show. However, organizing and communicating with TripAdvisor was difficult or unnecessarily complicated with the app.
