Highly recommended - This small group experience on a beautiful yacht is fabulous. On our visit we didn't see any whales, but did see an enormous pod of dolphins and got spectacular views of the mountains and volcano. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this trip.

Great trip, lovely boat - Great trip, the boat was a little more luxurious than the alternative fishing/rib boats going out on tour. Nice to have different levels to view from and the chance to pop inside for a hot drink when it got chilly! The tour was a great success amongst our group

Once in a lifetime experience even with a lost phone - Wow… what an incredible experience from beginning to end. We saw so many humpback whales and seals - which was a once in a lifetime experience! Not only was the trip amazing I unfortunately dropped my phone into the bay before departing off; distraught the team were incredible and pulled us into the captains cabin shortly after and informed us that they would be able to contact a local diver to retrieve it! I was slightly apprehensive however we arrived back at the dock with the diver in sight and he thankfully had found my phone and it was working which was a miracle in itself! 5 star service from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend the team more! Even with this stupid mistake I again can’t recommend booking with Harpa Yachts and will definitely be back hopefully diving to see the incredible wildlife and not to find my phone again!

Adventurous - It was a lovely trip. The captain and the people worked there were very helpful and knowledgeable. The only thing I would like to add is that when they spot the whale they were turning the boats towards the whale which means that the people in the from of the yatch got to see it nicely but the people standing on the sides and rear had to miss out.

Amazing guide and great conditioned boat. Would recommend! - A really great experience to see such amazing animals up close. The guide is really knowledgeable and was a pleasure to be apart of. Would recommend to anyone. The last hour back is a bit of a drag but the high of seeing a whale certainly carries you through. Pro tip - Bring your own drinks & snacks because they really sting you on the boat.

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.
