Great Experience - Maria and Pedro were great we saw dolphins, Minke and Humpback whales and even caught a few humpback breaches. Maria was very knowledgeable about the biology and ecology of the area.

Best time ever! - The guides were knowledgeable, the boat seats comfortable! The small boat is definitely the way to go! The whales were literally 20’ from us at times or closer! Both my daughters said it was awesome! Wear layers and them they put you in a full suit and life vest. Loved, loved, loved it!

Fun for all! - Absolutely loved the tour! The boat ride was fun, so many whales, dolphins and puffins were found. We’ve done several whale watching adventures this by far was the best and we saw the most! To top it off our guide Maria and driver Emily were the best! They both truly have a passion for what they do. It made me smile just listening to their excitement!

Great couple hours with whales, puffins, and dolphins! - Spectacular harbor tour with viewings of puffins on an island (and in the harbor), minke and humpback whales, as well as white-beaked dolphins. Sam was great as our knowledgable guide. Highly recommended.

A sunny day at the Bay! - Maria and Captain Pedro did our boat trip looking for the whales very smooth and informative! We had a sunny day and a bay full of whales, but they carry on not giving up to show us more and more! Different species and it was so fun!

Amazing whale watching - We had an amazing experience. We saw about 15 whales and several dolphins. On our way back to the pier we stopped and saw puffins. Our tour guides were amazing. We loved having our small boat with just our family and 3 others. You definitely need to check out this company.

Amazing experience from start to finish! - The crew was professional as well as very personable. The coverall was waterproof and warm. Saw so many whales and puffins, it was crazy! And crew member, Lefterius shared pics and videos of our sightings afterward. I can't wait to do it again!
