A great adventure where seeing whales was guaranteed generally for our day; and proved to be correct. Great crew, helpful and fun. Guess sightings on the day and sunshine made the trip a highlight of vacation. Would strongly recommend. Good price as well and booking process very effecient.

We saw a lot of whales. I made many beautiful pictures. Thank you for this wonderful experience. By the way the crew really did care about the sick people. My friend also didnīt feel pretty well after 1,5 hours. Prepare yourself, so that you can completely enjoy this beautiful whale-watch-tour !

Saw whales only minutes into the trip

Twenty minutes after we left the harbour we saw a female whale and her calf. It was excellent. We watched the two whales for about two hours and after about an hour and a half we were kind of bored with it. But we understood that its not always that easy to find the whales and the length of the trip is to ensure that you do see something. Maybe if the skipper asked the people on board the vessel after a certain length of watching the whales whether they wanted to go in shore and took a vote. But it was excellent I can't complain. The boat was super clean and the young man on deck was available all the time to answer any questions we might have had. well worth the money. So wonderful to see these animals in their natural environment.

Do not expect to see dolphins right next to the boat. They're there, but they can dive up to 15 minutes without really knowing where they'll come up again. The crew does their best to spot and get close, so it's not a lack of skill, but you have to be a bit lucky as well. Make sure have have sailor's legs, the pacific can be quite rough, even at quiet times!

Very enjoyable trip where we saw lots of whales. Captain was very good but it was a pity that the naturalist was not available for our trip.
