Very good but photography can be organised better

Very good tour, the guys even rotate the members from updeck to lower deck Photo graphy is good but not organised in terms of you will not get the original photo digital copy of the photo once you get off the boat

Highly recommended

Excellent service, friendly crew and a well kept vessel. Everyone on board made the experience memorable. It was fantastic to see the whales and learn more about them.

Fabulous experience

I took my friend who was visiting from NZ for her birthday. We had a really lovely time but unfortunately we did not see any whales that day. But we did spend some time on a private observation deck looking , which in itself was a fabulous experience. We are going to try again in October when she’s back. The staff were fantastic, really lovely , kind and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this trip. Value for money and just a great day out. Boat was clean and well looked after.

Whale watch letdown

This was the 3rd time we booked this and twice our sailing was cancelled with no notification prior to turning up. Very disappointing

Whales and more Whales

This trip was fabulous. It was a surprise for my granddaughter who loves whales . Unfortunately it was raining early in the morning and when we arrived to check in the staff aboard would not allow anyone to get on board . That was difficult as we weren’t prepared with wet weather gear and had to stand in the rain for 20 mins. However once on board we received a hot drink. The boat was very modern and comfortable. We did see lots of whales close up so our earlier discomfort faded! My rating would have been a five if we’d been given better options than having to stand in the rain !
