Whale worth it! - We had a wonderful time! It takes approximately one hour to get out where the whales are usually seen. The ride there was amazing. We saw two different whales and they were really close to our boat. Captain and guide were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall great experience.

Enjoy! - I appreciated that one could get cover indoors if needed (it was needed when the fog rolled in!). We were fortunate to not only see a pod of dolphins early on, but also plenty of puffins and we did catch several whale sightings!

Cold but gold - The experience was nice but cold, literally 🥶. It was unfortunate that whales 🐳 decided not to show up, but regardless it was cool to see the amazing views, despite the cold 🤭.

Brilliant experience - We had a fantastic trip. The guide was excellent and the captain was amazing in finding the location of a Humpback whale and getting us near enough to view but not too close to disturb the animal. Would happily recommend this tour.

SUPERB - I had already tried this trip last August and we had seen a lot of whales (according to the guide herself). I had not seen dolphins and decided to try the experiment again. We still haven’t seen dolphins and a few fewer whales, but the outing is still a great opportunity

Great whale watching experience - Experienced crew knew exactly where to take us, to hopefully see some whales and we weren’t disappointed!! We saw killer whales and humpback whales. My Mrs, who isn’t a lover of boats and the ocean in general, thoroughly enjoyed the experience as did our 16 year old son. There were many view points around the yacht and the facilities on board were better than expected.

Interesting journey and lucky to see much wildlife - The boat was comfortable and we were well informed of what we saw: many dolphins (macro pod), including babies, minke whales and humpbacks. The marine biologist did a good job spotting the wildlife including birds. Nice refreshments for purchase on board. Boat departed and returned on time.

Might wait for a differnt season - We may have picked the wrong season, but the whales in April are small and the view we got was mostly of dorsal fins. The ship was well set up and comfortable.

Dolphins watching- Not whale watching - We spotted only a handful of dolphins 🐬. The majority of people experienced seasickness due to the rough waves. They did provide medication, but it came at a price.
