Awesome. What a day! - What an evening. Thoroughly recommended. Around 4.5hrs on the boat in total, take a coat or jumper, it gets chilly quickly! The photos they take are awesome and honestly every seat on the boat is amazing there’s no rush to ‘get the best seat’!! Massive thank you to the crew Jonathan, Luke, Ashley, Thomas & Roisin!

Don’t miss this adventure with Prince of whales because you will see Orcas and Humpbacks. - This was an awesome experience. The captain and mates were fabulous, extremely knowledgeable and informative. Orcas were spotted ahead of us and we circled around the area, snapping pictures when they hit the surface of the water. We then traveled a bit further and humpback whales were spotted. What an amazing site and so graceful !! The captain turned the boat off and we were all quiet and the movement continued and we snapped tons of other photos. While we were heading back, a bald eagle was spotted on the tops of the trees along the coast and again on the lighthouse. This was the most exciting excursion we have ever taken. One for the books and not to be missed.
