Brilliant - We had an amazing trip on ‘Andrea’. We saw Puffins, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales and White Beaked Dolphins. The humpback whales were bubble net fishing which was an incredibly rare sight so we were very lucky. The dolphins were swimming alongside the boat which was brilliant. The tour guide was very precise with his instructions - immediately telling us where to look for any whale sightings. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

excellent whale watching experience,excellent captain and guide - It was a great experience. The captain's skills were very good. He took us to actively chase whales. The guide was very professional. He explained the knowledge of whales to us and found the location of the whales in time and informed us. We were very lucky to see beautiful whales. It was great.

Nice luck and nice whales - Super nice day, it was whitenose dolphins and a long time with humpback whale! Maybe a little uninspired guide, a little tired? Not so much fun to listen to. Otherwise good!

I would go again and highly recommend. - Absolutely wonderful, we saw so many humpback whales and some dolphin's, harbor porpoises and the sea was so calm. A real treat so see so many and with such great staff. They were all so friendly and knowledgeable. Really pleased to have finally gone. Everything was on time and it wasn't busy or over crowded. Very pleased and would definitely go again and recommend.

Amazing - We saw dolphins, minkie whales, porpoise and a humpback whale. The tour guide told us about the different animals and the area, she was also very “natural”, a very likeable personality! It is cold, even in summer so put on warm clothes and put on one of their overalls.

Everything we hoped for and more - The tour was amazing. The purpose of the trip was to see whales in their natural environment and this tour did not disappoint. Not only did we see whales but we were able to enjoy the frolicking of a group of dolphins including a mother and her baby. I would definitely recommend this tour - the young lady who guided us was extremely knowledgeable and her enthusiasm made the trip!

Whale watching in June - We saw 3 hump back whales and a few other animals. The guide did a great job of explaining things and there was ample time on the tour to spot the whales multiple times

Last minute decision to... - Last minute decision to do this tour. Got to see dolphins & a couple of whales. The guide was a little hard to understand (speaker system was not good)
