5Amazing whale-watching...
Amazing whale-watching experience! 🐋 We saw several whales up close, and the crew were friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip, highly recommend!
5Very exciting
It was very timely and fun. We really enjoyed it. We got wet and cold so bundled up in advance and don’t just count on their suit.
5Great experience!
Guide was great! Stayed warm and saw several whales!
5Great trip
We had perfect calm water and easy to spot whales! Very lovely guide told us all about the 2 humpback whales we saw. A super trip. Arrive a little early to get suited up - we didn't and got frowned at by others!
5Great experience
Exactly what we were looking for, adventure and whale watching. Successful for both. Highly recommend.
5Wonderful captain and guide. Eager to please and make whale watch a success.
Friendly staff. Crew was eager to please and tried in their hardest way to navigate a successful sighting for us.
